I'm sorry guys, I really should have put this in the math section. If you'd like to move it I have NO problem with that!

Hello everyone I sure wish I knew more than I did about this so I could explain it clearly but i don't I'm trying though! I've been trying to figure this out for 4 days, I just CANT get it. What I need to do is add the $tax amount (that seems to be working good) to the $total_price value. I can't do something simple and add it using another name for $total_price as it's being called through out the program. (It sends it via emails and displays it to users). I've tried to put: $total_price = ($tax + $tot_price); And it does the math correctly, but, it doesn't store the value in the $total_price function. I'm sorry for my newness. I sure would appreciate any help, I hope its something simple. //calculate and format total, discount, shipping function photoshop_format_price($temp_price, $cd_counter, $error='', $template){ global $lang_photoshop, $SHOP_CONFIG; $out =array(); $discount_calc = calculate_discount($temp_price, $cd_counter); $shipping_calc = calculate_shipping(); $discount = number_format(($discount_calc),2); $shipping = number_format(($shipping_calc),2); $tot_price = number_format(($temp_price[1]+$temp_price[0]+$shipping_calc-$discount_calc),2); $tax = number_format(($tot_price*.0825),2); $cd_price = number_format($temp_price[1],2); $photo_price = number_format($temp_price[0],2); if ($cd_price > 0) { $cd_price2 = "{$lang_photoshop['on_cd']}: {$cd_counter['cd']} {$lang_photoshop['pics']} :: $cd_price{$lang_photoshop['USD']} <br />"; } else $cd_price2 = ''; if ($photo_price > 0) { $photo_price2 = "{$lang_photoshop['for_print']}: {$cd_counter['photo']} {$lang_photoshop['pics']} :: $photo_price{$lang_photoshop['USD']} <br />"; } else $photo_price2 = ''; if ($tot_price > 0) { if ($shipping > 0) { $total_price = "{$lang_photoshop['shipping']} :: ".$shipping."{$lang_photoshop['USD']} <br>"; } else $total_price = ""; if ($discount > 0) { $total_price .= "{$lang_photoshop['discount']} :: % {$discount}{$lang_photoshop['USD']} "; } $total_price .= "<hr size=\"1\" width=\"200\" align=\"right\" /> "; $total_price .= "{$lang_photoshop['total']}: {$tot_price}{$lang_photoshop['USD']} "; } else $tot_price = ''; $out['html'] = <<<EOT <tr> <td colspan="6" align="center"> <hr size="1" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="6" align="right"> {$photo_price2} {$cd_price2}{$error} Tax.:{$tax}{$lang_photoshop['USD']} <br> {$total_price} </td> </tr> EOT; $out['text'] = sprintf("%+63s\n\n", ''); if ($photo_price > 0) { $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", $lang_photoshop['for_print'].': '. $cd_counter['photo'].' '.$lang_photoshop['pics'].' :: '.$photo_price.$lang_photoshop['USD']); } if ($cd_price > 0) { $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", $lang_photoshop['on_cd'].': '. $cd_counter['cd'].' '.$lang_photoshop['pics'].' :: '.$cd_price.$lang_photoshop['USD']); } if ($shipping > 0) { $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", $lang_photoshop['shipping'].' :: '.$shipping.$lang_photoshop['USD']); } if ($discount > 0) { $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", $lang_photoshop['discount'].' :: %'.$discount.$lang_photoshop['USD']); } $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", 'Tax: '.$tax.$lang_photoshop['USD']); $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", '--------------------------'); $out['text'] .= sprintf("%+63s\n", $lang_photoshop['total'].': '.$tot_price.$lang_photoshop['USD']); return $out[$template]; I guess the cliff's notes version is, I would like it to add $tot_price and $tax values, and store that value in $total_price.
