I cheered too fast.. That function rounds to the closest 500, literally..
So, 1100 is rounded to 1500, not to 1000 which would be the correct value.
Any more ideas from anyone? My mind isn't working right at the moment, so a
"ready-to-plug-in" function would be really great!
Thanks,
Anders.

Dear Lord.. It seems like it was so much simpler than I would even guess..
Maybe that's why I didn't see it?
function roundto($number, $to) {
return round($number / $to) * $to;
}

Someone was way ahead of you and found the answer and posted on the
PHP
manual pages back in May. The manual pages are always useful, even
if
only for the user-written functions!

Thanks Ash.
I browse the pages frequently for ideas, and also did it yesterday..
However, I must have missed that post, maybe because it was so small

Anders.
Isn't what you wrote the same as the following?
function Multiple($number, $multiple)
{
return round($number / $multiple) * $multiple;
}
The above was on the page that Ash linked to...
Named differently true, but it was right there in front of you...

Hey there,

Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Aslan:
Keeping it all on one page (one script) is fine -- no problems with that.
Here's the technique I use.
$step = isset($__POST ['step']) ? $__POST ['step'] :1;
if($step == 1)
{
// do the first page stuff (Symptoms)
// with a POST form that has an <input type="hidden" name="step"
value="1">
}
if($step == 2)
{
// do the second page stuff ( Troubleshooting questions)
// with a POST form that has an <input type="hidden" name="step"
value="2">
}
if($step == 3)
{
// do the third page stuff (Answer to problem)
// with a POST form that has an <input type="hidden" name="step"
value="3">
}
If you want to pass variables between pages (trips from client to the
server nad back again), you have four options, namely: 1)
writing/reading a file; 2) writing/reading a database entry; 3)
passing via a POST/GET; 4) or using SESSIONS.
For most things, I prefer using POST/GET and/or SESSIONS. Try this format:
$var1 = isset($_POST['var1']) ? $_POST['var1'] : null;
$var2 = isset($_SESSION['var2']) ? $_SESSION['var2'] : null;
That's the way I pass data between client and server.
However, what you are describing sounds a bit like this:
http://webbytedd.com/b/exam/
With this example, I'm not passing anything to the server --
everything is kept client-side and is quick.
If interested, all the code is there.
Cheers,
tedd

you can add some code to get more error information:
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include("inc/dbconn_open.php");
function error_mysql($query) {
die ("Error <b>".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."</b>
<br>SQL query: <b>".$query."</b>");
}
// ...then you can end your last line with this:
$result = mysql_query($sql) or error_mysql($sql);
hope it helps,
