<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My client wants a Samples Request form that when an item is selected it will be added to a list. It would be sort of like a shopping cart but nothing is actually purchased so a shopping cart would be overkill. They just want whatever sample items are selected on the form to appear on a page and then when submitted that info is passed on to my client so they can ship the sample(s) to their prospective customer. <br />
<br />
I have used FormMail PHP and am thinking that PHP could handle this type of scenario but have no idea how implement it. Where I'm lost is how to show the selected items before processing the form.

PHP form

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
