Spoke Calculator Pro
PHP spoke calculator is a free program for shop or personal use. I have included many features that i have not scene in any other widely available spoke calculator. It is good to note that the more accurate your measurements are the more accurate the final spoke length will be.
The Pro Version includes support to add, edit, and delete from a Data Base making calculations simple and fast.

- Setup Script
- Dynamic Calculations
- Store Data In a DB
- Choose a hub and rim from the DB to do fast spoke calculations
- new Accordion Menu for Groups
- Management including add, remove, edit, groups
- new Bulk Grouping
- Search DB
- Printer friendly
- XHTML and CSS2 Standards
- CVS Backup
- MD5 encryption
Lite Features:
- Free

Instalation:
The installation script can be found here “/setup/index.php”
Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.
- Database name
- Database username
- Database password
- Database host
If for any reason the automatic file creation doesn’t work, don’t worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open config-sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as config.php.
In all likelihood, these items were supplied to you by your ISP. If you do not have this information, then you will need to contact them before you can continue.
You should enter your database connection details. If you’re not sure about these, contact your host.
- Database Name: The name of the database you want to run your script in.
- User Name: Your MySQL username.
- Password: Your MySQL password.
- Database Host: Most Likely won’t need to change this value.
All right everything is ready to go!
First thins first, go to “password-test.php” and enter your desired password, you will get an encripted version back, Copy it. Now you need to open the setup.sql file in a text editor and were it says “username” and “password” change them to reflect your log in. now you can save the file and import it into your database, i recomend using phpMyAdmin to do so.
Changes:
Version 1.5
Updated the MySQL a bit, Added a CVS Backup feature, fixed a IE print bug.
Version 1.3
You now have to be logedin to add and delete content. A unauthorized user is only allowed to read content.
Version 1.2
Added User login to edit content as well as a few code changes.
Version 1.0
Initial release.

That’s sweet! Every place I’ve ever worked has just had a huge notebook that had every possible combination written down, trouble is it kept getting lost and oil / grease dirt all over it. Are United gonna use this?

i know! we had a huge card catalog with probably 500 different combinations in there, so i started creating my calculator and then it grew into a huge learning project. and now there isn’t a whole lot more i think it needs. of course if any one can think of anything i would be glad to try and accommodate.

it should be to non members too

You mean the adding information? The reason i didn’t put a public access for the admin sections is you can’t guarantee the accuracy of the information so if you the administrator knows its proper information then you should be the only one adding info.
I suppose if you wanted to allow any one to add info you can simply remove the security part of the script (or I can do it for you) or you could just get people to e-mail you and request access.

I updated the Spoke Calculator Pro zip, i made a small change in the get.php file allowing you to see the hub axle spacing. there is also a small change in the MySQL. if you need help with the change just contact me.
November 28, 2006
Another small update to the CSS file, all you need to do is download the new zip and replace the “syle.css” it will fix an error i saw in the get section in Internet explorer.

Mark – were you having troubles installing? i noticed for some reason the Submit buttons were not showing up, i fixed this. i also tried to install and then logged in and had no issues, i will re-upload the zip for download.

I am still having trouble. When I attempt to do a fast calculation I get
please go back and enter the Rim ERD.
please go back and enter The Left Flange Diamiter.
please go back and enter The Right Flange Diamiter.
please go back and enter The Left Center to Flange.
please go back and enter The Right Center to Flange.
I think it may be an issue with a setting in PHP.

mark – Can you check to see if register globals is turned on in your php.ini file?
if not then it wont work.
I have plans to update the script to not require it to be turned on.

I am trying to install your script on our server for our shop – I do have the database hooked up and I can log into the admin area – but I can’t save anything or do a fast calculation
I have made sure the globals are on
any ideas?
May 5, 2010
Hello Peter,
The Calculator works fine with php4 and register globals turned on.
I will work on an updated version that will run in php 5 and address the issues.
No ETA however.
Thanks!
