@simplypixieJan 02.2013 — #I am not entirely sure what you mean as you are not displaying all of your code and don't explain what $row[formula] does or how it is used.
To echo the variables: [code=php]echo '('.$basic.' - '.$advanced.')';[/code]
@NogDogJan 03.2013 — #Make sure you are showing us the exact code, as each of these will give you different results (note the difference in how the expressions are quoted): [code=php] $foo = 8; $bar = 9;
@simplypixieJan 03.2013 — #NogDog has just given you the answer to this! So to use in your case you need to use the version [code=php]echo "($basic - $advance)"; // (100 - 75) [/code]
