Call up a PHP Variable in Request?

    Thank you so much! After much searching, this plugin is a godsend. ??

    However I am having trouble pulling a PHP variable $total_usd as the variable. I must be missing something really simple here:

    <?php echo get_conversion( 'number=' . $total_usd . '&from=usd&to=cad' ); ?>

    Thanx again for your work here,
    Cheers

    Hi Avrom,

    Have you checked what is in $total_usd beforehand? I’d echo that out first and double check it. Otherwise I can’t see a problem with what you’re doing there.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for verifying I’m doing that right!

    Yah, that might be the whole problem. The variable is taken from WooCommerce on the checkout/form-pay.php template. It outputs fine, the correct number. But I have no idea what it is, i.e. string, integer, array value etc.

    I have some more work to do to figure this one out. Thanx again mate!

    Somebody else was trying to do a similar thing…

    The format of the output (string, etc) shouldn’t make a difference as long as it’s just a straight numeric format (so just numbers, periods, commas). If you’re getting just that let me know, but I tested the function call you’re using when I was sorting out the above query and it worked fine.

    David,
    The WooCommerce variables are passed as “formatted” which I suspect means they are strings.

    A simple case of converting string to number? I have already tried to no avail. What exact kind of numerical value is your plugin calling for?

    And what would be the best way to convert say $total_usd if its a string, so it’s compatible with your plugin’s function call?

    Cheers and thanx,

    So it needs to strip out the $ character. ??

    Can you echo out $total_usd and cut/paste what it outputs here?

    David.
