php mysql Calculate price from database value with form selection - php

Question

Hello I am really struggling with this. I was asked to develop a script to calculate oil price but cannot get it to work. I have been able to setup a form to update fuel price.
I have a table called fuel_price. In this table will be cost per litre of fuel which is stored under fueltype.
For example there are Four columns in the table ‘ID’ value=1, ‘Oil’ value= £0.50, ‘Diesel’ value=£0.85 and RedDiesel value=’£0.75’.
I need to multiply selected fuel type by quantity of litres selected within form.
Can anyone please guide me on what I am supposed to do??
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<select name="fueltype">
<option>- Select fuel type -</option>
<option value="Diesel">Diesel</option>
<option value="Red Diesel">Red Diesel</option>
<option value="Home Heating Oil">Home Heating Oil</option>
</select>
<select name="qtylitres">
<option>- Qty in Litres -</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
<option value="200">200</option>
<option value="400">400</option>
<option value="500">500</option>
<option value="900">900</option>
<option value="1000">1000</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
include 'mysql_connect.php';
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT `Oil` from `fuel_price` WHERE id = '1'");
if (!$stmt->execute()) { die($stmt->errorInfo[2]); }
$row = $stmt->fetch();
$price = $row['Oil'];
echo $_POST['qtylitres'] * $price;
?>
Please help really unsure what to do??

Answer 1

maybe by putting
global $pdo;
in both mysql_connect.php and your file, just after the include statement will solve your issue
