Hi Everyone,
SO it's friday, I'm tired, and I can't seem to think straight... I am
attempting to do some very basic math with some arrays... Here's the
pseudo code that I'm working with:
NumberOfPieces * PieceWeight = TotalWeight
explode total weight to get tenth's of pounds, then divide tenth's of
pounds by 16 to grab ounces.
Display TotalWeight # Exploded Ounces.
Which I have working just fine for a single set of boxes...
My problem is I want to be able to automatically add say 50 boxes in a
form to process the weight of each route...
So what I need to do is probably use some kind of a counter to loop
through my $RoutePieces array and multiply by the $PieceWeight?
$PieceWeight is a static number.
Now let me show you some abbreviated code to try and explain what I'm
using right now:
<?PHP
$i= "0";
$num= "2";
$PieceWeight = $_POST['txtPieceWeight'];
$RoutePieces[] = $_POST['txtRoutePieces'];
$RouteNumber[] = $_POST['txtRoute'];
$totalWeight = $PieceWeight * $RoutePieces/16;
$weightExplode = explode('.', $totalWeight);
//$weightOunces = ((float)('.' . $weightExplode[1])) * 16;
// Use stut's method... Seems cleaner
$explodeOunces = ($totalWeight - intval($totalWeight)) * 16;
while($i <= $num){
echo <<<HTML
<p>
Route Number:<input type="text" name="txtRoute[$i]" size="4" value
="{$RouteNumber[$i]}"> Number of pieces: <input type="text"
name="txtRoutePieces[$i]" size="4"
value="{$RoutePieces[$i]}"><label>Total weight of route:
{$weightExplode[0]} # {$explodeOunces} Ounces</label>
</p>
HTML;
$i++;
echo $i;
}
?>
the $_POST array has the proper values stored properly... I just can't
seem to figure out how to work with the values... Any ideas? Or slaps
on the back of the head to wake me up a little? :)
I need help :P
