Question

First I thought this was a stupid question, and i should do some search and it would be easy to solve. But I am afraid I just ain’t getting anywhere!

The thing i need to do is simple. I have a U$ value and i want to divide it by 12. Thats it.

Well, the thing is that this value is outputed by a function, and echoes ok, look:

<?php 
$preconormal = wpsc_the_product_price(); // it echoes like 99.90

$precoja = str_replace (".", "", $preconormal); 

echo $precoja; //echo ok -> 9990

$quantas = '12';

$parcela = $precoja/$quantas; // ok, so divide 9990 by 12, right?

echo $parcela; //no!!!!! it echoes 0 :(

?>

I really hope you can help me!

Answer 1

You are trying to divide strings, if you used numbers say

$quantas = 12;
$precoja = 9990;

What happens?

It should fix the division, in which case, prior to the mathmematics, convert your vars to integs by

 $quantas = intval($quantas);
 $precoja = intval($precoja);
 //your manipulation here..l
