Each entry costs £5.00, so I want to be able to multiply the </p> <p>session variable (element_8) by 5. This will enter the total cost into the PayPal form. I have no idea of the correct syntax to use.</p> <p>The line I have is:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;input type=&#39;hidden&#39; name=&#39;item_price&#39; value=&#39;&lt;?php echo &#39;&#39;. $_SESSION[&#39;form_data&#39;][&#39;element_8&#39;]; ?&gt;&#39;&gt;</code></pre> <p>I would like it to submit element_8 times 5</p> <p>(No worries if this is beyond the scope of support for this product)</p> <p>Thank you. </p>
