I am creating a cents calculator. On the first page the user enters the amount of quarters and dimes they have. Than when the user clicks on the calculate button it is supposed to take them to a results page that gives them the total for quarters, dimes, and all together. However, When the calculate button is clicked it simply clears the text boxes and nothing happens. Since PHP does not give a syntax error I have no idea what is causing the problem. I am sure it is probably something small, but if some one could take a look and let me know if they see anything that would be great. Thanks. Here is the code for the input as well as the results page.
