Hello,
I am having a problem with a mortgage calculator. When clicking "Calculate" it adds a "t" in place of the comma.
I contacted my hosting company and they are telling me it is definetly in the code. However, i have the same code on a different server and it works fine.
The calculator works fine on this page:
http://winabi.com/peoplefirst/mortgage_calc.php
The calculator does not work on this page:
http://www.peoplefirstlending.net/mortgage_calc.php
The files should be identical.
Any help much appreciated.

PHP Mortgage Calculator
version: 1.1
last update: Jan 1, 2003
----------------------------------------------------
The PHP Mortgage Calculator tries to figure out a home
owners mortgage payments, and the breakdown of each monthly
payment.
The calculator accepts:
Price (cost of home in US Dollars)
Percentage of Down Payment
Length of Mortgage
Annual Interest Rate
Based on the four items that the user enters, we can figure
out the down payment (in US Dollars), the ammount that the
buyer needs to finance, and the monthly finance payment.
The calculator can also break down the monthly payments
so we know how much goes towards the mortgage's interest,
the mortgage's principal, the loan's Private Mortgage Insurance
(if less that 20% was used as a down payment), and an rough
estimate of the property's residential tax

Since you are putting LESS than 20% down, you will need to pay PMI (<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=private+mortgage+insurance">Private Mortgage Insurance</a>), which tends to be about $55 per month for every $100,000 financed (until you have paid off 20% of your loan).

Residential (or Property) Taxes are a little harder to figure out... In Massachusetts, the average resedential tax rate seems to be around $14 per year for every $1,000 of your property's assessed value.

Let's say that your property's <i>assessed value</i> is 85% of what you actually paid for it - <?php echo "\$" . number_format($assessed_price, "2", ".", "thousands_sep"); ?>.
