Math ... multiply & divide ... I assume you're using a base-10 number system, so multiply or divide by 10 when your user's input indicates you should do so. > One other question.

I've noticed that over the past couple days you've been asking not-necessarily PHP questions, but /basic/ programming questions. For your repeating zeors question, you'll have to make use of some string functions or a regexp function. Look for a pattern of more than 1 zero. g.luck, ~Chris
