How can JavaScript be avoided in a PHP project like a price configurator, especially for those not well-versed in JavaScript?

To avoid using JavaScript in a PHP project like a price configurator, you can use PHP to handle dynamic updates and calculations on the server-side. This can be achieved by utilizing PHP sessions, form submissions, and server-side scripting to update prices and configurations without the need for client-side JavaScript. 

<?php
session_start();

// Initialize variables
$basePrice = 100;
$selectedOptions = [];

// Check for form submission
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Update selected options based on form input
    if (isset($_POST['option1'])) {
        $selectedOptions[] = $_POST['option1'];
    }
    if (isset($_POST['option2'])) {
        $selectedOptions[] = $_POST['option2'];
    }

    // Calculate total price based on selected options
    foreach ($selectedOptions as $option) {
        // Perform calculations based on selected options
        switch ($option) {
            case 'option1':
                $basePrice += 50;
                break;
            case 'option2':
                $basePrice += 75;
                break;
            // Add more cases for additional options
        }
    }
}

// Display form and total price
?>
<form method="post" action="">
    <label><input type="checkbox" name="option1" value="option1"> Option 1 (+$50)</label><br>
    <label><input type="checkbox" name="option2" value="option2"> Option 2 (+$75)</label><br>
    <!-- Add more checkboxes for additional options -->
    <input type="submit" value="Calculate Price">
</form>

<?php
// Display total price
echo "Total Price: $" . $basePrice;
?>
