FIT3084 : PHP Script with Cookie

Produce a fill out form that allows a user to enter their name and then "place order" for a specified number of items by clicking on a button.

The possible items that could be ordered and their costs are given below in a table that resembles the one you will need for your order form.

A PHP script should accept the order placement and calculate the total cost for the order, generating a second form to send back to the user.

The second form should show the complete order, its cost and provide an "accept order" button which sends data to a PHP script that replies "Thankyou". It should also show the order and give an expected delivery date 3 business days after the day of placing the order.

Use cookies to ensure that a user who interrupts the process or returns after placing an order can retrieve the state of their transaction without having to re-enter the data:

• If they have submitted their order but not accepted it yet and they re-access the page, the script should show the order as it stands.
• If they have accepted the order, the script should show them the order and tell them how many days until delivery.
