[RESOLVED] Multiply in PHP

I have a problem that may be really simple for someone in here.

I am getting two values from two tables and one of the values is an integer which represents a percentage.

I need to multiply the first number by (second number as a percentage).

$success = $volume * ($success_percent * 0.01);

I know what I have above is probably completely wrong but if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanx in advance

Have you tried the above?

Anyway, what result do you want? Can you try to explain it without using a forumula to do it, then it is possible to spot an error in the formula.

Got it working by doing the calculation in the mySQL query.

Thanx anyway!
