Problems printing/echo to HTML page

paulkenn

I have a very strange issue echoing fields into HTML.
I have a php page with about 100 fields that are echoed into a contract.
The fields are either integers (sqft) or decimal (prices). There are certain fields that when they are echoed the value of the field shows up in 2 places on the contract, for example I have a field that echos the price for the sqft of a house, let's call the value $1800.00.

This value shows up further down the contract in the sqft of a deck.
The code is echoing the field names, they are completely different and yet the $1800.00 is trumping the value of the field name.

I hope this makes sense,

I have stared at the coding for 3 days now, and I have no idea what is causing this. It appears to limited to about 14-15 fields, the rest are fine. I have checked the field names for accuracy and they are perfect, the coding is identical for the ones that work and the ones that don't.

Here is an example of my code in the two fields in question:
<?php
$eparea = $line["sqfteq"] * $line["sqftec"];
if($eparea > 0) {print number_format($eparea, 2, '.', ',');
}
else {print "";
}
?>
This outputs: $1800.00

<?php
if($line["fqbsmtgarage"] > 0) {print $line["fqbsmtgarage"];
}
else {print "";
}
?>
This also prints 1800 instead of the the real value of field "fqbsmtgarage".

Any ideas?? Help!

If I have left anything out please ask

the code you posted by itself works fine so the problem must be elsewhere.

$line = array(
'sqfteq' => 18,
'sqftec' => 10,
'fqbsmtgarage' => 22,
);

$eparea = $line["sqfteq"] * $line["sqftec"];
if($eparea > 0) {print number_format($eparea, 2, '.', ',');} // ouputs 1800.00
else {print "";}

echo '<br>';

if($line["fqbsmtgarage"] > 0) {print $line["fqbsmtgarage"];} // outputs 22
else {print "";}

you should feed $line to [man]print_r[/man] to make sure the values are what you are expecting.

That's the most frustrating part, I know the coding is right.
I tried print_r(), it outputs 1800. If I look at the table the value is 25.

Oddly enough as I add values to the table for other fields, for instance if sqft is field #1 and the value is 1800.00, if I add a new value to the next field sequentially, then the second instance of 1800 moves to a new field

for example

field #1 = 1800.00 then field #14 echos 1800
when field #2 also has a value then field #15 echos 1800 and so on,

it just keeps bumping the value of field 1 to the next echo in the the code.

It's really weird. Maybe this is a server issue or something?
