Yeah, in a form if you want the user to choose a number like that you can
use an html select / option, or a set of radio buttons, or you could use
a text input and let the user enter a number, but they might enter a
number outside your range.

This sounds more like a javascript thing than a php thing, you probably
don't want to submit your form to the server each time the user changes
their option.

Not quite sure what a nog is.
Well you'd use an appropriate javascript function to get the value from
the input type that you were using, making sure that you did any needed
conversions to numeric data if it started life as a string value, and
then do the relevant multiplication and display it in a suitable output
location.

You're welcome.
xp and fu set, this sounds like primarily a js issue, not a php one

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
