Total NOOB to PHP, actually I don't even know where to begin. I have coded in other languages such as Java, C, C++, VB, C#, etc.

Anyway, how do I go about including a small body weight calculator in an html page? Not sure how to go about coding it (maybe some pointers), and what sort of headers, if any, are needed, as well as including or linking the html sheet to, I assume, a .php file... Any help appreciated. Thanks!

small body weight calculator

With javascript. To create it in PHP would require a round trip to the server for each calulation.

BTW wouldn't a body weight calculator be normally called scales?

Could be... I was wanting a calculator that determines minimum calorie intakes, vs body weight, etc. - food calculator for when the SHTF

OK, I am not familiar with javascript, just java, any ideas on how to get started on this? Thanks!
