Re: [PHP-DB] case From: Martin Clifford (MLC1 <email protected>)

Use strtolower() on all entries from the form, so you can compare them (in lowercase) without worry about whether the user entered "MA", "ma", "Ma", or "mA".

I want to test a value that was typed into a form, but I don't want the case
to be a problem, how can I get around this??

This is what I have now:

function calculate_tax($OrderedByState,$ShipState)
{
 global $totalPrice;
 //tax calculation
 $taxRate = "0.05";
 if ($OrderedByState=="MA" && $ShipState=="MA") {
    $taxcost=$taxRate*$totalPrice;
 } else if ($OrderedByState=="MA" && $ShipName != "" && $ShipState!="MA") {
    $taxcost= "0.00";
 } else if ($OrderedByState=="MA" && $ShipState=="") {
    $taxcost=$taxRate*$totalPrice;
 } else if ($ShipState=="MA") {
    $taxcost=$taxRate*$totalPrice;
 } else {
    $taxcost= "0.00";
 }

 return $taxcost;
}

Thanks for any help!
