I have the below code that a user enter information in a form. Then it take the values and start a topic in a designated forum with the users answers. You can see what it looks like from the screenshots.
Anyway, I want to add a new line in the posted topic that calculated how much SRF Cash it will cost the user depending on the price field that they entered.
User enter price in a form
Number1 = price Round to the nearest .50
So $2.27 would be $2.50
S0 $2.64 would be $3.00
Total = (Number1 divided by $.50) * 100 i.e. Total = (roundToNearest answer/ .50) * 100
I want to pass the total to the forum topic that says (This book will cost you (total) SRF Cash)!
I found a function that calculate to the nearest .50 but I don’t know if it’s correct. But here it is below. Just wan’t to know what to add to application.php code to calculate the total and then pass it to the forum topic?
roundToNearest
function roundToNearest($number,$nearest=50)
{
$number = round($number);
if($nearest>$number || $nearest <= 0)
return $number;
$x = ($number%$nearest);
return ($x<($nearest/2))?$number-$x:$number+($nearest-$x);
}

You have to be a member to use the form or even access the Redeem forum. That’s why I included screenshots. If account access is needed, I’ll be happy to PM a test account. Thanks
