Re: [PHP] simple math computation..
i found the culprit. i remembered, that i use to pass the value with.. number_format($totalCost, 2, ".", ",") so the values being received by my computation has a "," comma 4,000 so that is why i always get wrong values. thanks again!

Howdy. It seems to work fine for me, perhaps you have a typo along the lines some where. echoes 800 -- Regards, Matthew Fonda On Sun, 2004-10-03 at 23:26, Louie Miranda wrote: > the percent of 20% is = .20 right? > how can i compute the correct value for this? > > my $totalCost is $4,000 and when i compute it to .20 using this method.. > > $shippingestimate = $totalCost * .20; > > i get the value for the shippingestimate = $0.8 which is wrong.. it should $800 > what seems to be wrong? > > -- > Louie Miranda > http://www.axishift.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] simple math computation..
the percent of 20% is = .20 right? how can i compute the correct value for this? my $totalCost is $4,000 and when i compute it to .20 using this method.. $shippingestimate = $totalCost * .20; i get the value for the shippingestimate = $0.8 which is wrong.. it should $800 what seems to be wrong? -- Louie Miranda http://www.axishift.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
