BrentonHale Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I can't figure out why this code doesn't work. No error messages. Page loads. <?php # Script 3.9 - calculator.php $page_title = 'Widget Cost Calculator'; include ('./header.html'); function calculate_total ($tax= 5) { global $total; $taxrate = $tax / 100; $total = ($_POST['quantity'] * $_POST['price']) * ($taxrate + 1); $total = number_format ($total, 2); } if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { if (is_numeric($_POST['quantity']) && is_numeric($_POST['price'])) { echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Total Cost</h1>'; $total = NULL; if (is_numeric($_POST['tax'])) { calculate_total ($_POST['tax']); } else { calculate_total (); } echo '<p>The total cost of purchasing '. $_POST['quantity'] .' widget(s) at $'. number_format ($_POST['price'], 2). ' each is $'. $total .'.</p>'; echo '<p><br/></p>'; } else { echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Error!</h1> <p class="error">Please enter a valid quantity and price.</p><p><br/></p>'; } } ?> <h2>Widget Cost Calculator</h2> <form action="calculator.php" method="post"> <p>Quantity: <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5" maxlength="10" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['quantity'])) echo $_POST['quantity'];?>"/></p> <p>Price: <input type="text" name="price" size="5" maxlength="10" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['price'])) echo $_POST['price'];?>"/></p> <p>Tax (%): <input type="text" name="tax" size="5" maxlength="10" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['tax'])) echo $_POST['tax'];?>"/>(optional)</p> <p><input type="submit" name"submit" value="Calculate!"/></p> <input type="hidden" name"submitted" value="TRUE"/> </form> <?php include ('./footer.html'); ?> The calculator does not work and won't display anything. I've checked the code three times in the text book and I believe their is no typo's. What am I doing wrong?
