I am new to PHP and I wrote this...

PHP Code:

<?php

$cost = 25;

$type = $_REQUEST["Type"];



if ($type == "Business")

    $cost + 10;

elseif ($type == "Personal")

    $cost + 5;



echo "Total Price:" . " £" . $cost

?>

But for some reason "Total Price: £25" always shows regardless of if I select Business or Personal. Please help I have tried everything... its probably something really simple.

If you post your code that is sending the value to this code you can probably get an answer quicker, but I'll take a guess - The form sending this probably has a variable name type instead of Type.

Edit: Another guess might be that the value being sent to this code is business/personal instead of Business/Personal.

This code works:

PHP Code:

<?php
$cost = 25;
$type = $_REQUEST["Type"];

if ($type == "Business") 
   $cost = $cost + 10;

elseif ($type == "Personal") 
   $cost = $cost + 5;

echo "Total Price:" . " £" . $cost
?>

You need to assign the new value to $cost.

You could also use:

PHP Code:

$cost += 10;

// ...which is identical to:

$cost = $cost + 10; 

...etc.

Thanks works fine!

LOL. I guess after you proofread so many bogus lines of code in a forum, you go blind...

PHP Code:

 $cost + 10; 

 $cost + 5;
