I\'m creating a basic PHP calculator that lets you enter two values and chose your operator then displays the answer. Everything is working fine except it\'s not outputting
<?php
$cal1= $_GET['cal1'];
$cal2= $_GET['cal2'];
$symbol =$_GET['symbol'];
if($symbol == '+')
{
$add = $cal1 + $cal2;
echo "Addition is:".$add;
}
else if($symbol == '-')
{
$subs = $cal1 - $cal2;
echo "Substraction is:".$subs;
}
else if($symbol == '*')
{
$mul = $cal1 * $cal2;
echo "Multiply is:".$mul;
}
else if($symbol == '/')
{
$div = $cal1 / $cal2;
echo "Division is:".$div;
}
else
{
echo "Oops ,something wrong in your code son";
}
?>
Personally I would do a switch instead of all this if, else if, else
$first = $_POST['first'] + 0;//a small "hack" to make sure its an int but allow negs!!
$second= $_POST['second'] + 0;
$operator = $_POST["group1"];
switch($operator)
{
case "add"
echo "Answer is: " .$first + $second;
break;
case "subtract"
echo "Answer is: " .$first - $second;
break;
case "times"
echo "Answer is: " .$first * $second;
break;
case "divide"
echo "Answer is: " .$first / $second;
break;
}

$first = doubleval($_POST['first']);

if($_POST['group1'] == 'add') {

// etc
Make this changes in php file

<p>The answer is:
<?php
$first = $_POST['first'];
$second= $_POST['second'];
if($_POST['group1'] == 'add') {
echo $first + $second;
}
else if($_POST['group1'] == 'subtract') {

else if($_POST['group1'] == 'times') {
echo $first * $second;

else if($_POST['group1'] == 'divide') {
echo $first / $second;
}
else {
echo "Enter the numbers properly";
}
?>
