thanks for the reply...i thought i had the logic down but it wasnt
showing any errors or warnings. I finally stumbled upon
a method that works--probably the way its supposed to be done. I moved
the logic from the controller to the model in a save method like this:
public function save(Doctrine_Connection $conn = null) {
$price = $this->getPrice();
$taxRate = $this->calculateTax($price);
$amnt = ($taxRate + $price);
$this->setVat($taxRate);
$this->setAmountWithVat($amnt);
return parent::save($conn);
}
using this method in the same class
public function calculateTax($price) {
$afterTax = $price * sfConfig::get('app_tax_rate');
return $afterTax;
}
and it worked. Thanks for the reply anyway :-)
