[SOLVED] adding problem

$total = 0;

if (!empty($chkfries)){
  print ("You chose Fries <br> \n");
  $total = £total + $chkfries;
} // end if

if (!empty($chksoda)){
  print ("You chose Soda <br> \n");
  $total = £total + $chksoda;
} // end if

if (!empty($chkshake)){
  print ("You chose Shake <br> \n");
  $total = £total + $chkshake;
} // end if

if (!empty($chkketchup)){
  print ("You chose Ketchup <br> \n");
  $total = £total + $chkketchup;
} // end if

print "The total cost is \$$total \n";

?>

 

It now shows the correct amount when the checkbox is ticked...However when it goes to make the total cost...It only adds the last figure to the original figure

 

ChkFries: 1.00

ChkSoda: .85

ChkShake:

ChkKethcup:

 

You chose Fries

You chose Soda

The total cost is $0.85

[trq]

All these...

 

$total = £total + $chkfries;

 

Should be...

 

$total += $chkfries;

 

The pound sign means nothing to php, it should be generating errors.
