Val addition

[timmah1]

Each radio button has a different name now, hence me using list on the billingInfo page

OK now change the code back to what you had when you first posted so we get a value instead of "Array" being shown so we can try it again.

done

 

It's back to getting 0 for a total

Can you do a print_r on $_POST['package_'] so we can see exactly what is being processed.

 

I just tried:

 

<?php
$package=array("bread"=>"89.99,wed","cheese"=>"30.00,fri");
$total=0;

while (list ($name,$val) = @each ($package)) {     
      $raw = "$val";
      $price = explode(",", $raw);
      $total += $price[0];
  }
echo $total;
?>

 

which from your earlier comments is what i think the structure of $_POST['package_'] would give and I get the correct total.  Thats why i think your while loop is actually ok and there is another problem...

[Yesideez]

OK now before you add the values together - get rid of that $ symbol from the value THEN add them together.

 

$val=substr($val,1);

[Yesideez]

I see why Mad Mick's is working - he's not using that $ symbol in his!

Yesideez,

You are my hero!

 

This is the final code

while (list ($name,$val) = @each ($_POST['package_'])) {     
		$val=substr($val,1);
	  $price = explode(",", $val);
	  $tmp = $price[0];
	  $total += $tmp;

 

And it gives me a total now

 

Thank you so much for your patience

 

Mad Mick, thank you for your help as well, but the $_POST['package_'] has always worked ok

[Yesideez]

When you add numbers together the $ counts as non-numerical and will always return a value of 0.

 

Glad it now works

[Yesideez]

This might be safer...

while (list ($name,$val) = @each ($_POST['package_'])) {     
        $price = explode(",", $val);
        $total += substr($price[0],1);

 

Give it a whirl and see...

 

Where you had it before it was stripping the first character off each element in the array and the display looks a bit strange with the first character missing.
