Trying to get this working

I have tried this code

if ($values["Vatable"])

$values["VAT"] = $values["Amount/47*7"];

return true;


I am trying to display the Vatable amount only if the Vatable checkbox is ticked, I can not get it to do the maths, I think my problem is around this part "$values["Amount/47*7"];"
The Field Amount is what gets entered as a total on the Add page, if the checkbox is ticked then I need the results to go into the VAT box?
Any ideas please??
Cheers

This might be a bit naive but I recall having a similar pain recently.
I think it was because my checkbox was a TINYINT field and not a boolean, so I had to check was it if checkboxfield==0 or <>0 rather than treating it as a boolean.
And I reckon this part: $values["VAT"] = $values["Amount/477"];
probably needs to be more like this so you're referring to the field by its correct name $values["Amount"]: $values["VAT"] = ($values["Amount"]/47)7;

Hope that helps, and apologies if not.
