[RESOLVED] multiply variables

[auddog]

I have a form that I have created which has a couple of inputs, one for price and the second is a radio button (values of yes, no). When I click the submit, I want to take the $POST['price'] and multiply it by .5 and replace the price variable with the new variable. Here is what I have, but it's not working. Can help me with what problem I have.

        //if rework = yes then multiple price by .5
        $price = $_POST['price'];
        $rework = $_POST['rework'];
        if ($rework = 'yes'){
        $price = $price * .5;}

Thanks for your help in advance.

It should work ... if($rework = 'yes') will always return true. You are using the assignment operator instead of the equality operator.

You need something like:

<?php
  $price = $_POST['price'];
  $rework = $_POST['rework'];
  if($rework == 'yes') $price *= .5;
  else echo $rework;
?>

Unless you are not receiving $_POST['price'] correctly and it gets the default value of 0.

Then it is still technically working, you will just always get zero due to always multiplying by zero.

That seems to have worked out my problems. Thanks for your help.
