Having a problem finishing this equation?

[TPerez]

I'm doing a homework project and i'm having a slight problem on how to add another equation if a statement is true. Here is is the link to the project im working on http://tylerdperez.com/courses/fall_2008/CIS12_PHP_MySQL/09_11_08_PayRate/payinput.php.

I have the equation working fine when it consists of double time and so forth. If i wanted to add another if statement that would override the first one, how would I do that?

$check=$hours$payRate;
if($dblHours<$hours)$check+=($hours-$dblHours)($dblRate-$payRate);

This is what my other equation would look like...
$check=$hours$payRate;
if($trplHours<$dblhours)$check+=($dblhours-$trplHours)($dblRate-$payRate);

If doubletime is more than hours but less than tripletime, i would like the first equation to execute. If tripletime is more than double time, i would like equation number 2 to execute.

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks,

if ( ($trplHours<$dblhours) {
  $check+=($dblhours-$trplHours)*($dblRate-$payRate) );
} elseif($dblHours<$hours) {
   $check+=($hours-$dblHours)*($dblRate-$payRate);
} 
 

I think...

Thanks Duck!

It wasnt the exact equation I was looking for, but you lead me into the proper direction with the 'elseif'

I ended up with...

$check=$hours*$payRate;

if($trplHours>$dblhours)$check+=($hours-$dblHours)($dblRate-$payRate)+($Hours-$trplHours)($trplRate-$dblRate);

elseif($dblHours<$hours)$check+=($hours-$dblHours)*($dblRate);

Please let me know if I'm writing any of this wrong! It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help duck! 😃
