Your attack Bonus is: <input type="text" name="attbonnum" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $_POST['attwith'] ?>" /> 
<br />
Your enemies fighter count is: <input type="text" name="Fighternum" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $_POST['number'] ?>" />
<br /> 
You need to send: <input type="text" readonly="readonly" name="sendammount" value="<?php echo $_POST['sendammount'] ?>" /><br />

		if ($shipcountotal == 0)
		{$shipcountotal = 1;}
		if($ship == 0){
			$ship = 1;}



		$number= $shipcountotal / $ship;








            


           $sendammount = ceil($number / $attwith);

Nowhere in that code are you outputting anything.

You're either not showing enough code, or simply aren't ever outputting anything.

the main jist of this is that i am converting from html to php, for security and for reliability

on html it works perfectly (the formulas and values) but from the testing and debugging ive done on the php code it does not seem to be accepting the submit

Alex · June 12, 2011

I'm still not completely understanding your question. Where's the PHP to go along with that?

Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to do here:

</php>

edit: Hm.. I think I might get it now. But still, you're never echoing out the result of your calculation anywhere that I can see.

deathstrike369 · June 12, 2011

You need to send: <input type="text" readonly="readonly" name="sendammount" value="<?php echo $_POST['sendammount'] ?>" /><br />

this is where the result is supposed to be posted into

im gonna get some sleep and give it another go in the morning with fresh eyes, if you can help with this, then i would appreciate it very much

I think the issue is that you're trying to assign the form input value as $_POST['attwith'] instead of $attwith.
