Commision Script

[PierreL]

Hi Guys

 

I'm pretty new to PHP and need desperate help to modify a function. This function calculates commision for an auction.

 

function vbccalc_commission($vbc_finalprice, $vbcomm_increments){
	settype($vbc_finalprice, "float");

	// Build the Commissions Structure
	$vbcomm_inc = explode("\n", $vbcomm_increments);
	$vbccomm_index = '0';
	foreach($vbcomm_inc AS $vbcomm_inc_bit){
		$vbccomm_bit = explode("|", $vbcomm_inc_bit);
		$vbccomm_index++;
		$vbccomm_level[$vbccomm_index] = $vbccomm_index;
		settype($vbccomm_bit[0], "float");
		$vbccomm_price[$vbccomm_index] = $vbccomm_bit[0];
		settype($vbccomm_bit[1], "float");
		$vbccomm_fee[$vbccomm_index] = $vbccomm_bit[1];
		$max = $vbccomm_index;
	}

	$count = $max;
	$vbcomm_sum = '0';
	while ($count > 0) {
		if($vbc_finalprice >= $vbccomm_price[$count]){
			$vbcomm_step = $vbc_finalprice - $vbccomm_price[$count];
			$vbcomm_bit = $vbcomm_step * $vbccomm_fee[$count];
			$vbcomm_sum = $vbcomm_sum + $vbcomm_bit;
			$vbc_finalprice = $vbc_finalprice - $vbcomm_step;
		}
		$count--;
	}
	$vbc_commission = $vbcomm_sum;
	return $vbc_commission;
}

 

The $vbcomm_increments is not needed anymore. The new commision structure can be hard coded. $vbcomm_increments allowed you to modify the script but the modifier can not do what i want the script to do. Below is an example of what i want this script to do

 

- Listing fee for all items is R 15.00

- Goods listed from R 0.01 - R 500.00, only the listing fee has to be paid.

- From R 500.01 - R 10 000.00, listing fee + 5%

- From R 10 000.01 and above, listing fee + 3%

 

Examples

 

- You sell a fly box with flies for R 200.00, the fee is the listing fee of R 15.00

 

- You sell a rod for R 600.00, the fee is the listing fee (R 15.00) + 5% of R 600.00 (R 30.00) = R 45.00

 

- You sell a Sage for R 1200.00, the fee is the listing fee (R 15.00) + 5% of R 1200.00 (R60.00) = R 75.00

 

- You sell your vehicle for R 50 000.00, the fee is the listing fee (R15.00) + 3% of R 50 000.00 (R 1500.00) = R 1515.00

 

The guy that wrote this mod for an auction scripts is not supporting this anymore and is un available which leaves me in a bad spot not being able to launch. 

 

I would be really gratefull if someone can help me out.

 

Thanks in advance

 

All the best

Hi Blade

 

No i dont expect you guys to do it, just needed advise, this is what i tried.

 

$vbc_finalprice = 200.00;

		if($vbc_finalprice <= 500.00)
		     {
                   $vbcomm_sum = 15.00;

			    }else if ($vbc_finalprice >= 500.01 && $vbc_finalprice <= 10000.00){

			       $vbcomm_sum = $vbc_finalprice * (1 - 0.05) + 15.00;

			     }else($vbc_finalprice >= 10000.01){

                       $vbcomm_sum = $vbc_finalprice * (1 - 0.03) + 15.00;

			     }

			   $vbc_commission = $vbcomm_sum;
			   return $vbc_commission;
			   				   
			   print "$vbc_commission";

 

PHP does not seem to like this, but you get what i am trying to do here

 

else if ($vbc_finalprice >= 500.01 && $vbc_finalprice <= 10000.00)

 

Cheers

Ok i think i;ve cracked it

 

if(($vbc_finalprice >= 0.01) and ($vbc_finalprice <= 500.00))
		     {
                   $vbcomm_sum = 15.00;

			    }else if (($vbc_finalprice >= 500.01) and ($vbc_finalprice <= 10000.00)){

			       $vbcomm_sum = $vbc_finalprice * 0.05 + 15.00;

			     }else if($vbc_finalprice >= 10000.01){

                       $vbcomm_sum = $vbc_finalprice * 0.03 + 15.00;

			     }else{

				 $vbcomm_sum = 0;

				 }

			   $vbc_commission = $vbcomm_sum;
			   return $vbc_commission;
