Form results: using math in echo

[ringartdesign]

I've got a website I'm putting together for my small insurance agency. Basically I want to give the viewer a quote based on their age and sex. I'd like to be able to add their spouses age and sex to the equation as well as up to 3 children (anything over 4+ children are free). The php code below that works for the age range but does not give a different quote based on the sex. My question is:

 

Can you advise on how to edit this PHP code below to factor in the sex of the person?

 

PHP CODE

<?php

//page display after form submission

echo "<p><CENTER>Thank you, <b>$_POST[name]</b>, for requesting a quote.<br>

if (($_POST['age'] >= 18) && ($_POST['age'] <= 25) && ($_POST['sex'] ="male"))

$quote=31.44;

$quote=44.65;

You are using =, not ==.

 

if (($_POST['age'] >= 18) && ($_POST['age'] <= 25) && ($_POST['sex'] ="male"))

 

That will just set $_POST['sex'] to male, it won't check to see if it IS equal to male. Change it to a ==

That worked! Thank You! 2 more questions...

 

How could I add the spouse's quote to it? All values would be exactly the same except "age" would be "spouse_age" and "sex" would be "spouse_sex"?

 

Also, I added children by doing this:

$quote+=($_POST['children']*30.04);

 

But I need it to stop adding 30.04 for 4+ children. (ie - 1 child = 30.04, 2 children = 60.08, 3 children = 90.12, {more than 3 remains the same} 4 children = 90.12)

 

Thanks!!!

for children quote

 

$quote += min($_POST['children'], 3) * 30.04;
