    Pretty sure it will be using an API such as Google Maps which you'll have to look into. Then some form of a cost algorithm to estimate the fare.

    Adamoverload reacted to pandad in Calculating Prices   
    So based on talks posted today and in no doubt previous and future posts! I've dug out a link from freelanceswitch which talks about pricing and how to calculate.
     
    http://freelanceswitch.com/money/the-price-is-right/
     
    If for what ever reason the site goes down in the future this is the basic format
     
    (Hourly Baseline + Profit Margin) x Number of Hours to Complete Project = the Price is Right!

    I did freelance work while at uni, you just need to register as self employed with inland revenue. They will get you to do a tax return every year, its pretty straight forward.

    You'll need to keep invoices/receipts etc for everything business related. If you buy software, consumables etc as part of the business then keep the receipts because many are fully or part tax deductable. Any work you do for clients then keep a copy of the invoices you send them as your record of income.
     
    At the end of the year you should have a big pile of invoices and receipts to sort out into "Income" and "Expenses", that will form the base of your tax return.

    Adamoverload got a reaction from kingy da killa in Does uni guarantee you a job?   
    I am currently in my first year of Computing Science. I like yourself am a Web Designer/Developer. But i knew that a degree in IMD would be a waste of my time and id learn nothing from it. I wouldn't gain much if anything from the course apart from abit of paper that id get, in my opinion a portfolio potrays your skills in a better light than a piece of paper with no evidence.
     
    I decided to pick Computer Science as i enjoyed PHP/JS and languages that were mostly web based. But i said to myself what is the point in doing those languages again, i want to get into more Desktop based languages such as Java. My point of view was that im applying for a software developer job, i will have java and other desktop languages but ill also have some web based programming experience to a high level, something other university students wont have unless they go and teach themselves. Its always good to bulk out a CV.
     
    What im doing is using my web design/developing and some Server Admin skills to make money while at uni. Its by no means going to keep me, i still the use the loan but its a nice extra money for the social activities in uni, especially if finding a part time job is impossible(like me)!
     
    Sure you'll be in a big amount of debt but from this year alone, the debt was worth it, the friends ive made, the good times ive had. I live at my parents for the minute but im moving into a house with my mates next year, sure i will be broke but its all part of becoming independent and being able to meet up with university friends a lot more frequent(as i live 20 miles from uni).
     
    Overall the ball is in your court, ive told you my experience so far and what i forgot is i get a placement year with a well known employer within the IT industry, this is always a boost as a reference for your CV. If you have any questions on university or computer science, give me a shout man.

    Adamoverload got a reaction from Hauzer in HTML Grabber Script   
    This is OOP programming so i'd make the index.php this:

    <?php include("search.php"); $test = new Gamebattles(); if( !$_POST['submit'] ) { echo(" <form action=\"search.php\" method=\"post\"> User Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" /><br> <input type=\"submit\" /> </form>"); } else { print $test->fetch('http://url.com', $_POST['username'], 'tag to end grab'); } ?>
     
    Remove these 2 lines from search.php:

    $test = new Gamebattles(); $test->fetch('http://url.com','tag to start grab','tag to end grab');
     
    Enjoy, Adam.
