After re-reading Jacob's post I have to agree I misunderstand. Here's a better answer to his request. // Create array of locales we want tax for $locales = array("CA", "OR"); $payment = 1500; ShowSalesTax($payment, $locales); function ShowSalesTax($Amount , $States) { //aray of states and their rates $StatesRates = array("CA" => 5 , "WA" => 7, "OR" => 8); foreach($States as $state): print "Tax on $Amount in $state is " . $payment / 100 * $StatesRates[$state] . "\n"; endforeach; } Obviously, it's only an example and needs refining. -- Niel Archer
