help with a function

[igorek]

i am trying to get a -1.1120(number) for example turned into a positive number.

i tried multiplying the equation by -1 to do that if if() is true it still gives me a negative number any suggestions?

function calpips($buysell, $size, $exit, $entry, $rsize, $reload) {
	// $buysell = buy/long or sell/short
	// $size = size of entry
	// $exit = exit price
	// $entry = entry price
	// $rsize = size of reload 
	// $reload = reload price
	if($buysell == "Buy Long") { return ($size * ($exit - $entry) + $rsize * ($exit - $reload)) * "10000";} 
	if($buysell == "Sell Short" && $exit > $entry) { return (($size * ($entry - $exit) + $rsize * ($reload - $exit)) * "10000";}
	if($buysell == "Sell Short" && $exit < $entry) { return "-1" * (($size * ($entry - $exit) + $rsize * ($reload - $exit)) * "10000");}
}

Use the function [man]abs/man

$x = -4.3;
$y = abs($x);
echo $y; // will show 4.3
