It would be nice if you explained your problem is. What you are code is supposed to do etc.

Also when posting code please wrap it within

tags (I have modified your post).

I apologize. I am trying to create a form that processes service quotes. The user inputs the total qty of each service into the form then submits quote. On the processquote.php it is to take the qtys and multiply them times the cost for each service, then add them to give the user a total quote price.

My process displays the qty the user inputs but does not return (echo) the value of the quote (s1 + s2 + s3).

Thank you.

You have defined 4 functions but you never call them.

Have a read of the following documentation for how to use functions properly

http://php.net/functions

OK thanks let me try to wrap my head around it.

function values1($qtys1, $prices1) {

$values1 = $qtys1 * $prices1;

return $values1;

echo $values1;

Your code exits the function on the return statement so echo never called.

Also those functions a very repetitive.

Name your form inputs "qty[1]", "qty[2]" and "qty[3]" so they are posted as an array then your processing becomes a simple loop

$prices = array (
                1 => 5.00,
                2 => 3.00,
                3 => 1.00
            );

          
if (isset($_POST['qty'])) {
    $total = 0;  
    foreach  ($_POST['qty'] as $k => $qty) {
        $value = $qty * $prices[$k];
        echo "Service $k : $value<br>";
        $total += $value;    // add value to the total
    }
    echo "Total : $total";
}

Thank you GURU the array did work. I did not want to give the value of each individual item just a total. I redid the form and process to this which appears to work fine. Again I am very new to PHP - How hard would this be to scale from 12-1200 line items for quotes?
