at this point its the only way i know to pass that value to the next page. Im learning.

hello, still very new at this but here goes. on the page that posts the form i have a hidden echo like so. echo "<input type='hidden' name='price' value='$row[price]' />"; on the page that it posts to i have $first_number = $dbh->quote($_REQUEST['price']); $second_number = 20; $sum_total = $first_number + $second_number; $direct_text = 'The two variables added together = '; print ($direct_text . $sum_total); I get 20 as the result. any ideas? also a couple more notes that may help: datatype of price is int in db if i echo out $first_number i get '45' not 45 if i try $newnumber = (int)$first_number; echo $newnumber i get 0 cheers guys

thanks you!
