PHP Math Calculation
I am trying to perform a simple calculation from variables passed from a form. The code is as follows:
<?php
echo "Bonus for the year: <b>";
$x = (($awage * $nibt) + ($awage * $ratio));
$x = number_format($x, 2);
print $x;
echo "</b><p>";
$xtmp = ($x + $qtr);
print $xtmp;?>
The calculation multiplies two different values (based on values from the previous page), and then sets it equal to $x. The first calculation prints fine, but when I try to add it to $qtr (also passed via radio button from previous page), it doesn't calculate correctly.
I found that if I hard-code the values for $x and $qtr after I print $x, then it will calculate correctly. I am thinking that I am using the variables incorrectly somewhere.

Math
I'm doing some php math and need to divide a floating point number variable by only 4 decimal places - when I do the following: $aspect_ratio = 942 / 760; $new_height = $target_width * $aspect_ratio; In PHP $aspect_ratio claculates to 1.2394736842105 but for my purposes I need only 1.2394 How can I limit the decimals to just 4 places?

Need Some Serious Math Libaries
I'm in dire need of some php libraries / classes. Specifically: - basic statistical/probability calculations - prefferably more advanced ones that can deal with asymetric normal distributions - a linear programing solver I highly doubt the last two exist in php, but maybe somebody knows of a way of using some other GPL software to solve linear progaming problems or do some more advanced statistical calculations and then somehow access them through PHP (maybe WDDX?) It seems there are a few open source LP solvers written in C. Any ideas on how i might interface with them?

Any Math Guru's Out There?
I am not good at math, if you can find a dumbed down tutorial on this I'd appreciate it. I am trying to come up with a function that will find the distance between two points within a cube. The function eventually will be fed three co-ordinates, x y & z. Point 1 could be 290 : 195 : 132 Point 2 could be 136 : 201 : 8 Has anybody done this before? If so can you throw this poor dog a bone, I can code PHP and anything just fine, alas my poor math is letting me down on this one. (I've checked out the math functions in PHP hoping this had already been done to no avail).

Math Logic
I'm writing a script to do some calculations on gambling odds. I don't have a direct PHP question, but a math question related to my script. There are some smart people around here so I thought I'd ask. If someone can answer my question and explain the logic that would be great. The house edge is 1.41% and a winning bet pays 2:1. However, for every $1 lost on the game, the player only has to pay $.55. Given these circumstances, what is the modified house edge?

Math Problem
I cannot add say 1,000 and 1,000 $total = '1,000' + '1,000'; when you echo $total it comes out '2' yet if I do $total = '1000' + '1000'; it echos out '2000' like it should, one problem. All my pricing values have commas in them. Almost all if not all will always contain a comma and NOT a period. Just wondering how in the check can I remove the comma, add the values, then replace it? BTW, it's for a profit/loss chart. It scans a list a purchased and sold vehicles and does some math and spits out totals. Values are stored as a VARCHAR(20) in the database. Not sure what needs to be done, not sure if storing the numbers different would fix the problem or what.

Doing Math With Timestamp
got a DB with TimeIn and TimeOut Fields, they are set up as INT and am using strtotime when these fields are populated. I can get the math to find out the amount of time allotted between the two times <SNIPPET> $doseconds = $row_getLastPunch['TimeOut'] - $row_getLastPunch['TimeIn'] </SNIPPET> Now I know to take the number and divide by 60 to get the minutes, and then another 60 to get the hours. here is where my problem starts and my skill level stops. Say I have a final answer that breaks down to 98 minutes (5880 seconds) when I go to get the hours (98 divide by 60) I get '1.6333~ hours' which is correct math, I would rather it display '1:38 hours' or something close to that.

MySQL Date Math
I have this query to sum timesheet entries in my application. The user can enter hours and/or minutes and then we calculate the value. My question is about whether I can change the value back to hours:minutes for printing. This is my query right now: SELECT timesheet_entries.id, Sum(COALESCE(timesheet_entries.hours,0)) + Sum(COALESCE(timesheet_entries.minutes,0)/60) AS Rtotal FROM timesheet_entries GROUP BY timesheet_entries.id It takes the hours and the minutes and combines them to output a number like 3.5 for 3 hours 30 minutes. Is there a way to break that number back down and convert it to at least look like 3:30. Some users, in testing, are getting confused by the output of 3.5 after entering 3 hours and 30 minutes (which is annoying but I digress.)

Leave Calculation
for example, for the first 2 years, he does not has bonus leave, on the third year onwards, he has 1 day increase. by default, he has 18 days leave, on the third year, he can carry forward the 10 days from the previous year, now, he has 28 days leave plus 1 day bonus leave = 29 days. same with the fourth year, he can carry forward 10 days, so, he has 39 days leave plus 1 day bonus leave = 40 days. if he apply 2 days leave in the first 2 years, the balance is 16 days. on the third year, he only can carry forward 10 days only, not 16 days. if he apply 12 days leave in the first 2 years, the balance is 6 days. on the third year, he only can carry forward 6 days only, not 10 days. this is the problem that u don't know how to fix, can you teach me?
