im doing something wrong....

ok, so im trying to determine the net income only based off of gross income - fuel price per pirep. the code i have looks like this:

$gross = FinanceData::FormatMoney($pirep->load * $pirep->price);
$fuel = FinanceData::FormatMoney($pirep->fuelused * $pirep->fuelunitcost);
$netincome = $gross - $fuel;
echo $netincome;

the value it returns is 0, no matter what.

if i echo each gross and fuel separably it shows the numbers properly.

What exactly am i doing wrong here?

Change it to this:

$gross = $pirep->load * $pirep->price;
$fuel = $pirep->fuelused * $pirep-fuelunitcost;
$netincome = $gross - $fuel;
echo FinanceData::FormatMony($netincome);

Change it to this:

$gross = $pirep->load * $pirep->price;
$fuel = $pirep->fuelused * $pirep-fuelunitcost;
$netincome = $gross - $fuel;
echo FinanceData::FormatMony($netincome);

it actually ended up not giving me the proper result. i modifified it to the following to get it to work:

$gross = $pirep->load * $pirep->price;
$fuelused = $pirep->fuelused;
$fuelcost = $pirep->fuelunitcost;

$fuel = $fuelused * $fuelcost;
$netincome = $gross - $fuel;

echo FinanceData::FormatMoney($netincome);

So is it working?

[Guest lorathon]

parkho's original code has an error

$fuel = $pirep->fuelused * $pirep-fuelunitcost;

Should be

$fuel = $pirep->fuelused * $pirep->fuelunitcost;

> is missing

oh I see that now. I thought maybe the "FormatMoney()" function should be used at the end and that's why there were no results. Thanks for pointing that out.
