Re: Arrays past to functions

Hi

hi Niel, I believe Jacob wanted to know how he could calculate the tax for _all_ states passed in as an array in one go. Yours simply gives it for 1 State ("locale"). Other than thatm $taxRate($state) translates to Array($state) which gives an E_FATAL_ERROR obviously. I assume you meant to say $taxRate[$State].

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

I must say, you're the first (and only) person I've ever seen using foreach(): endforeach in PHP. As far as I know, most people use curly-bracers (in this case), I'm sure most people wouldn't even know this was possible (I had to look it up in the manual, and it's only in a single note that this is mentioned) - Tul
