Caculation error

DanielBourne · April 30, 2006

This from needs to total up all the inputs and rank it then goto the ranked page but somehow it does not add up.

Any help would be much appreciated, the code is as follows :

<?php
function loader()
{
?>
<html>
<head>
<body>

</body>
</head>
</html>

<?php
}

<?php

$question[9] = $_POST['Q[9]'];

Thank you

You have already transferred the data from the $_POST array to the $question array, so why do it again?

[code]$total = 0;
foreach ($question as $val)
{
$total += $val;
} [/code]

What does the form code look like?

Replace this

[code]$question[0] = $_POST['Q[0]'];
$question[2] = $_POST['Q[2]'];
$question[3] = $_POST['Q[3]'];
$question[4] = $_POST['Q[4]'];
...
...
...
$question[43] = $_POST['Q[43]'];[/code]

with

[code]$question = $_POST['Q'];[/code]

then

[code]$total = 0;
foreach ($question as $val)
{
$total += $val;
}[/code]
