I have a script that works out the instalments for a period of time again an amount.
Straight forward correct? well apparently not according to php.
Here is the posted form information, I know this is what is being posted because I am var_dump() all post values to make sure that is what is being posted.
array 'total' => string string '999,999.99' (length=10) 'howmany' => string '16,666.67' (length=9) 'installmentcost1' => string '999,999.99' (length=10) This is the very simple php formula
$tempInstallments = (intval($_POST['howmany'])) - 1; // get 1 less so we can make sure the last payment is within total amount $tempInstallmentCost = (floatval($_POST['installmentcost1'])) * $tempInstallments; //installment price * the installment period minus 1 month $tempTotal = floatval($_POST['cpototal']) - $tempInstallmentCost; // get the final payment cost Now unfortunately this is for some reason giving me some really bad math which I am var_dump() out also.
Here is the var_dump I am using:
var_dump($tempInstallments); var_dump($_POST['installmentcost1']); var_dump($tempInstallmentCost); var_dump($tempTotal); Here is what is dumped out:
int 59 string '16,666.67' (length=9) float 944 float 55 As you can see they are not even close to the actual information that is needed.
For instance it is meant to look like the following:
int 59 string '16,666.67' (length=9) float 983,333.53 (length=10) float 16,666.46 (length=9) Any Ideas why this is happening. I am even making sure that the information is a definite float or int.
Thanks
