Math not working? I'm really messing up somewhere and I am not sure what -simple

[jacomus]

I think it is probably something simple I am missing, I am fairly new to PHP and am putting together a page while doing different experimentation with the language.

 

My problem is that I have a user input for two numbers from a drop down menu.

 

$number1 is the variable from the first menu

$number2 is the variable from the second menu

$total = $number1 - $number2;

 

However, I always seem to get $total = $number1

 

It completely ignores the subtraction. I.E. If $number1 is 15 and $number2 is 4

Hitting the send button will get $total = 15 and not the expected value of 11.

 

Is there something I am, perhaps, missing?

Looks like $number2 is always 0 for some reason.

 

Can't do much more for you without seeing the code.

$number2 is probably null then.

 

Like Barand said, can we see your code.

It's cool, I figured it out, newbie error, I was using = instead of ==. Thanks for considering my issue though.
