title: PHP multiply Two fields
body: <p>I am trying to multiply to fields together to obtain a total in PHP form.</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;label for="190_mnth2"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
            &lt;div align="center"&gt;
              &lt;input name="190_mnth" type="text" id="190_mnth2" value="10" size="5" /&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
            &lt;label for="190_rate"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
            &lt;input name="190_rate" type="text" id="190_rate" value="190.00" size="10" /&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;
            &lt;input name="total_190" type="text" id="total_190" value=&lt;? echo '190_mnth2' * '190_rate' ?&gt; size="10" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
