Showing variable value

[Jon12345]

I am having a problem with the following:

<?

$theAmount = $_REQUEST['amount']; 
$theCurrency = $_REQUEST['currency']; 
$theAmount=$theAmount*0.01;

if ($theCurrency=="USD") {
$total="$".number_format($theAmount,2);
$theAmount=$theAmount*0.5;
} else {
$total="£".number_format($theAmount,2);
}


mail($email, "Sales Receipt for Service","
PLEASE PRINT OUT AND KEEP THIS EMAIL FOR YOUR RECORDS

Thank you for your payment of $total for your Service. Your credit card has been securely processed by SecureTrading and you should see AA on your credit card statement.

?>

The problem I am having is that US customers are complaining of having a £ symbol instead of $ next to their $total value. Consequently, they think they have been overcharged.

Anything wrong with my code?

Thanks,

Jon

Have you printed out $theCurrency to see it's value?

[Jon12345]

No. It is difficult for me to do that because it is a live payment gateway. However, I now have an idea. I can have a copy of the email sent to myself and then see what value comes through. That will help me diagnose. Perhaps I should also send theCurrency value too.

Okay, so take it out of "live" status and put it into a demo. Then check the results. If you know the format of the response from SecureTrading, you can "spoof" it in a test environment to diagnose this.
