Not sure what you are looking for, but here's the logic:

<?PHP
$num = 3/5*100;
echo $num."%";
?>

pyro... he has like a page with 2 variable numbers..

$num1
$num2

and wants to find the percentage..

$percentage = ($num1 / $num2) * 100

and then obviously echo it with echo $percentage . "%"

but it doesnt work for him... that's what he is saying.. do you know WHY it wouldnt work? cause it should....

What I posted works fine, and could be swapped out for variables very easily...

i know that pyro...:rolleyes:

what he is saying is he is swapping out the variables and it stops working for him. so he is asking if he if swapping it out wrong by doing

$percentage ($blah / $blah) * 100;

but what i said is no.. it should work for u and i have no clue why that does not work the gods hate you blah.

numba_one, if you show us more code than what you did, perhaps we can help you further...
