Math and PHP...

My brain is hurting.

[web_young]

What am I doing wrong in this equation?

$mothly_payment= $financing_price * $monthly_interest_rate / (1 - pow(V, $month_term));

[web_young]

Oops. I forgot to mention the error (might help).

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in c:\phpWeb\auto_calculator.php on line 102

The line I posted earlier is line 102.

Thanks in advance.

$mothly_payment= $financing_price * $monthly_interest_rate / (1 - pow(V, $month_term));

Now what is pow, I am not very good at debugging but it doesnt look like that is much of anything.

pow() [php.net] is a PHP function.

This parse error usually means you are missing a terminating semicolon or closing brace, etc. somewhere *higher-up* in your code.

[ergophobe]

pow [php.net] is a valid function, but it's first argument must be the base, so it needs to be a number

Or maybe a variable?

$mothly_payment= $financing_price * $monthly_interest_rate / (1 - pow($V, $month_term));

BTW you probably want $mothly_payment to be $monthly_payment

[dkin]

check for a semi colon on the end of line 101.

[coopster]

Timotheos, I assumed that was a named constant [php.net].

Timotheos - maybe he is paying the moths in his wallet...mothly payment :)

My bet is that V is supposed to be a variable - $V - and that there is a missing semi somewhere above it.

I was missing a semi colon on line 101. I'm also missing the $ before the V. Thanks for all your help.
