<?php //number in pounds we want to convert to kilograms $pounds = 140; // floating point value for the pounds to kilogram conversion $lb_to_kg = 0.453592; // use the variables above to calculate pounds multiplied by the kilogram conversion $kilograms = $pounds * $lbs_to_kg; // display the pounds to kilograms echo "Weight: "; echo $pounds; echo "lb= "; echo $kilograms; echo " kg";
//number in miles we want to convert to kilometers // floating point value for the miles to kilometer conversion // use the variables above to calculate miles multiplied by the kilometer conversion // display the miles to kilometers ?>
Hi again, I fixed the semi colon, but now when I try to run code, another error comes up that says "Notice: Undefined variable: lbs_to_kg in /home/treehouse/workspace/units.php on line 7. Weight: 140lb= okgtreehouse:~/workspace$

$lb_to_kg = 0.453592;
$kilograms = $pounds * $lbs_to_kg;
//Not the same Variables
//the correct
//by adding S to First one
$lbs_to_kg = 0.453592;
$kilograms = $pounds * $lbs_to_kg;
//or
//delete S from the second one:)
$lb_to_kg = 0.453592;
$kilograms = $pounds * $lb_to_kg;
