[SOLVED] help with edit of $cost = $words to $cost = 5 x $words

[chinclub]

In this script it charges one dollar per word and the PHP code reads:

 

$cost = $words

 

I want it to charge $5 per word. 

 

I hoped it would work like math and I could just type

 

$cost = 5 x $words

 

but NOPE!  big error with that. 

Can anyone tell me the correct way to edit that line.

Thanks!!

$cost = 5 * $words;
