Dividing database information

[stormchaser1_1]

I am trying to divide two numbers pulled from a database but keep receiving the following:

Warning: Division by zero

I know I must be missing something small - any help would be appreciated.

$field["BASE"] = $a;
$field["MIDPOINT"] = $b;

$a / $b = $c;

print $c;

$a and $b and $c need to go first if you're trying to assign values to them. The way you're doing, you're asssining the value of $a (which is nothing) to $field["BASE'] and assigning the value of $b (which is also nothing) to $field["MIDPOINT']

a/b doesn't equal c. c equals whatever $a / $b is. Write your code this way:

$a = $field["BASE"];
$b = $field["MIDPOINT"];

$c = ($a / $b);

That should fix your problem.
