Put the check boxes in a form

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<form method="post">
<input TYPE="checkbox" NAME="five" VALUE="5" checked>Five
<input TYPE="checkbox" NAME="ten" VALUE="10" checked>Ten
<input type="submit" name="go" value"Submit This">
<form>
<form method="post">
<input TYPE="checkbox" NAME="five" VALUE="5" checked>Five
<input TYPE="checkbox" NAME="ten" VALUE="10" checked>Ten
<input type="submit" name="go" value"Submit This">
<form>

Then Above that you put:

<?
 
if ($go) {
 
$add_this=$_POST['five'];
$add_that=$_POST['ten'];
$total=$add_this+$add_that;
 
echo $total;
}
?>
<?

if ($go) {

$add_this=$_POST['five'];
$add_that=$_POST['ten'];
$total=$add_this+$add_that;

echo $total;
}
?>
