Thank you guys, I will take your advices Its time to let go and move on.
 
 
Long story mate, but it all came down to money. They told me if the company made this amount of income, I would get certain amount of bonus percentage. But I didn't get anything. No payrise, No bonus. After 3 years and few months I was on the same pay as I first started. So i got a little bit upset because I did not get what they promised me. They refused to give me what I was meant to get and things started to get ugly.
 
After that day, me and the boss didn't get along. Since it is a family business, the father, mother, husband, cousin all worked in the office in different departments, it was hard for me to work there any longer. And they got rid of me.
 
But now I'm paid in full after threatening them the sort of damage I could do to them. I've handed over all the work, usernames and password.
 
Time to update my cv and portfolio now

Hey Fat_boy
 
Its worth having a good read through here, you will learn a lot from previously asked questions...
As for your question, thats really one for your brother and/or his hosting company to answer for you, depends how they have things setup.
 
Good luck with it :-)

I got it working.
 
I've added a new variable called costPerKM.
 
Further down in the populateTable function, I appended ".replace(' km', '')" to the rvalue of the distance variable leaving only the number. I then created a variable called cost which multiples costPerKM by distance (works now that its a number) and adds it in to the table cell innerHTML.

not really a joomla kinda guy, but try looking through http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=booking+system i'm more of a wordpress person so i dont know much about joomla but i was looking around for a booking system not long ago and their seemed to be plenty on their i just didn't want to learn joomla!

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.
