I am not familiar with PHP at all and had a quick question.
I have 2 variables @pricePerUnit and @invoicedUnits. Here's the code that is setting these to values:
$InvoicedUnits = ((string) $InvoiceLineItem->InvoicedUnits);
$pricePerUnit = ((string) $InvoiceLineItem->PricePerUnit);
If I output this, I get the correct values. Lets say 5000 invoiced units and 1.00 for price.
Now, I need to show the total amount spent. When I multiply these two together it doesn't work (as expected, these are strings).
But I have no clue how to parse/cast/convert variables in PHP.
What should I do?
