My my, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bracket.... Acutally, the silliness of the request has not been lost on me or the client. And no, it is a simple 195 times number of people, which is usually under 5, so, I understand your recent scratching of the head... I was thinking/hoping there was some mechanism that would calculate the amount without hitting the submit button, something like a OnExit command. Something that I would not have to work around the validation feilds being lost and without having to make up a couple of new files...

Just to point something out here: based upon the information you sent to the list, this question sounds ridiculous, because on the surface, it sounds like, "the class is $195, so how should I calculate this as a total?" ;-P Sometimes, when doing a project, we forget that *we* know all of the information, but those with whom we're trying to communicate do not. What other figures would be calculated into this? Is there tax levied in certain circumstances (like if they live in Pennsylvania)? Is there an option for registering and paying for multiple participants on a single order? Can they pay for more than one class at once? Are prices meant to be pulled in real-time from a database or other remote or dynamic source? If all of the above questions are no, then it's even easier: <?php $amount = 195; setlocale(LC_MONETARY,'en_US'); echo money_format('%n',$amount); ?> If even one of the questions above is answered with a 'yes,' then you'll want to consider the alternatives and weigh each option. Maybe you'll want to use JavaScript, maybe you'll want to do server-side processing --- maybe a combination of both (i.e. - AJAX) if you need to pull from the database and want to present the information without refreshing/reloading a page. -- </Daniel P.
