Hi all

I am currently designing a store using a php shopping cart and know little (although i am learning) about PHP, I want to be able to add 2 rows to this bit of code that where it shows the price in UK pounds, it also shows it underneath in $ and Euros, here's the code"

$prod_total = $price * $contents[quantity][$x];
$price = sprintf("%.2f", $price);
echo"<TD align=center>$currency$price</TD>\n";
$product = $contents[product][$x];

   $id = $contents[id][$x];

   echo"<TD align=center><INPUT TYPE=text class=\"textbox\" size=3 name=quantity[$id] ";
   echo"value=\"".$contents[quantity][$x]. "\"></TD>";

   $prod_total = sprintf("%.2f", $prod_total);
   echo"<TD align=center>$currency$prod_total</TD>\n";
   echo"<TD align=center><A HREF=\"view_cart.php?product_options=$pass_options&remove=".urlencode($contents[product][$x]);
   echo"".(!$ShoppingCart?  "&session=$session": ""). "\">$la_view_car_rem</A>";
   $cart_total2 = $cart_total2 + $prod_total;
   $x ++;
}

echo"</TD></TR>";
echo"<tr bgcolor='$colour_1'><td colspan='$colspan' align='right'><b>$la_order_bask_tot</b></td><td align='center'>$currency".$cart->cart_total($prefix,$session,$sale). "</B></td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></TABLE></td></tr>";

Could anyone kindly help me with this please.

Thank you.

didn't really read through your code, but here is something that might help you understand:

$price2 = "$euro $usd";

if you want to use a table to separate your rows, just stick in the table command around the variable. be sure to stick a backslash before your quotes though: \" when used inside a string.

hope that helps.

I didn't explain myself very well, what I need is the code for it to equate what the dollar and Euro price would be, if the exchange rate was 1 pound to 1.50 dollars and 1.5 Euros.

at the moment the code shows the pound rate, I want it to then take that pound and give me the 2 figures for dollar and euros.

Thanks for your time.

here is a little something i just whipped up... the values are correct according to [url]http://www.xe.com,[/url] so i think the algorithm is working alright. Anyway:

<?

function convertCurrency($lb){
 $euro = "0.846377";
 $usd  = "1.000000";
 $usdT = ($usd * $lb);
 $usdT = number_format($usdT,2);
 $euroT = ($euro * $lb) / $usd;
 $euroT = number_format($euroT,2);
 echo $lb." pounds =<BR>USD $ ".$usdT."<BR>EUR &#8364; ".$euroT."<BR>";
}

if(isset($_GET['lb'])){
 convertCurrency($_GET['lb']);
}

?>
<BR><BR><BR>
<form action="usdeuro.php" method="get">
 <input type="text" name="lb" value="1">
 <input type="submit">
</form>

Thanks for that, I have a question though, how can I incorporate this into my page, at present this row:

echo"</TD></TR>";
echo"<tr bgcolor='$colour_1'><td colspan='$colspan' align='right'>$la_order_bask_tot</td><td align='center'>$currency".$cart->cart_total($prefix,$session,$sale). "</td><td> </td></tr></TABLE></td></tr>";

Gives a UK pound total, what I would like is 2 more rows underneath it, 1 showing the $ total and one showing the Euro total.

Can this be done.

Thanks

Mark.

which is the price you wanted calculated?

$la_order_bask_tot ?
$cart->cart_total ?
- if $cart->cart_total, please let me know what each of the segments are used for, and which is the price you want calculated.

not sure what currency is used for either... you offer so little code it's hard to tell what does what.

thanks.
