Wizards,
I am VERY new to PHP, paging through Meloni's 'PHP Essentials' I get the following error which I assume is very simple to solve, but for me. I have tried different approaches in identifying the 'price' variable with no luck:
error:
Notice: Undefined variable: price in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php exercises\do_calculate.php on line 20
Notice: Undefined variable: price in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php exercises\do_calculate.php on line 24
