Another problem with variables

8ride

Ok I just got my other very simple problem solved and I got my host to turn on register globals. Now I am having problems with number variables. Here is the code I got right out of my book. Check the uploaded file here www.chumpchange.org/testing/numbers.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Using Numbers</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

/ $Quantity must be passed to this page from a form or via the URL. $Discount is optional /

$Cost = 2000.00;
$Tax = 0.06;
$TotalCost = $Cost $Quantity;
$Tax = $Tax + 1 / tax is now worth 1.06 /
$TotalCost = $TotalCost - $Discount;
$TotalCost = $TotalCost $tax;
$Payments = $TotalCost / 12;
// Print the Results
print ("You requested to purchase $Quantity widget(s) at $Cost each.\n<p>");
print ("The total with tax, minus your $Discount, comes to $TotalCost.\n<p>");
print ("you may purchase the widget(s) in 12 monthly installments of $Payments each.\n<p>");

?>
</body>
</html>

you didn't close your php line.

Check this :

$Tax = $Tax + 1 / tax is now worth 1.06 /

corrected:

$Tax = $Tax + 1 ; /* tax is now worth 1.06 */

you will find the fun of PHP. Here is teh best PHP forum for developers to solve and find the answer from here, most the time.

the mistake of left the ';' is pretty common when the application getting long.

may be you can try to put the

error(32)

on top of the part of your code. It will print out the error generate from PHP.
