Request for help:PHP and MySQL	by talon0720	2003-02-09 11:57:38
I'm trying to write an app in PHP to interface with a MySQL db and I'm having the following problem. I grab the price of an item from the db, multiply by the quantity, and try to insert that value into a field. It always comes out to be 0. I've tried explicitly setting the type to float before and after the calculation, I've tried converting the darned thing back to a float, I've tried changing the field in the db to a varchar to see if its just not getting changed to a float and is staying a string. Nothing seems to work. If anyone has dealt with this sort of thing I would appreciate any help possible. Please email me at bruce@castle-computer.NOSPAM.com (of course remove the NOSPAM) and I'll give you whatever details you need to help me figure this out. I'm sure its something simple that I should see, but my head still hurts. Please help me to stop bangin my head on the wall.
