Variable help...

[adamci]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to PHP and need some help with a variable problem i'm having...Basically I have a variable named $quote. I would like to add a case statement or something of that matter so that when a seperate variable named $product changes in the script, then the value of $quote changes...

Here is my code now...forgive me if i'm way off...

$quote = switch ($product) {
case "GND";
	 = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * .70);
		break;
case "1DP";
	$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * .20);
		break;
case "2DA";
	$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * .10);
		break;
	}

So basically if $product changes from 1DP to 2DA or whatever, then the value of $quote needs to change because each case has a different value for $quote.

Any help would be great...

switch case looks like this:

 switch ($product) {
case "GND":
$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * 0.70);
		break;
case "1DP":
	$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * 0.20);
		break;
case "2DA":
	$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote *  0.10);
		break;
	}

ok now how do I apply that to $quote?

This is what I've got and the $quote value stayed the same...

$quote = $rate->getQuote();
switch ($product) { 
case "GND": 
$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * 0.70); 
********break; 
case "1DP": 
$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote * 0.20); 
********break; 
case "2DA": 
$quote = $quote + $handling_charge - ($quote ***0.10); 
********break; 
****} 

$quote = number_format($quote, 2);

check you have the expected start values for $product and $handling charge
maybe they are not defined

take out ALL the asterisks you have added apart form the single MULTIPLY ones you actually need

you can add a default value to your case statement, add it at the end

default: $quote = $quote * 99; 
break;

//99 as a test to demonstrate it is working
