Define exchange rate and multiple value to data

[kevin66]

Hi, am trying without much luck, (I am new), to define an exchange rate on the page and then mutiplying it by a value I am extracting from a mysql db.

 

I write the value as below normally but having trouble writing this entry and multiplying it by my defined exchanged rate of say 2.22.

 

<?php

if(!empty($row['Band_1_Price']))  {echo "<div class=pricing_box_right2>£".$row['Band_1_Price']."</div></div>"; }

?>

 

Thanks so much.

what have you tried so far?

 

($row['Band_1_Price'] *2.22)

Exactly, but when I use it like -

 

if(!empty($row['Band_1_Price']))  {echo "<div class=pricing_box_right2>£".$row['Band_1_Price']*2.22."</div></div>"; }

 

it gives an error I think the prob is when I add the </div>

 

Can I define it first and then use when i write as I need to write it in 6 places

I got it working like you said but it doesnt write 2 decimal places , how can i force it to do this?

 

<?php

if(!empty($row['Band_3_Price']))  {echo "<div class=pricing_box_right2>£".$row['Band_3_Price']*0.4."</div></div>"; }

?>
