PHP help

[Seanie]

Hiya, I'm doing an assignment for my uni course on PHP, and I've got a bit stuck.

We've got to make a basic insurance quote site. I've managed to get all the forms and confirmation pages to output fine. I just need some help/guidence on how to get the following to work;

Calculate the cost of insurance, where the basic cost of insurance is £300 per year. However increasing in the following cases;

a. Engine size over 2 litres
b. Age less than 17; decline.
c. Age between 17 and 20 add £200 to quote
d. License points greater than 9, decline the quote.
e. Over 3 licensepoints but less than 9 add £500 to the quote.


I can get them to work individually, using if statements, but am struggling to get them to work together.

Any help appriciated!

<?php

function delcine() {
    die('You have been declined.' . "\n");
}

function check_age($quote, $age) {
    if ($age < 17) { 
        delcine(); 
    }    
    else if ($age >= 17 && $age <= 20) { 
        $quote = $quote + 200;
    }
    return $quote;
    
}

function check_license_points($quote, $points) {
    if ($points > 9) { 
        delcine(); 
    }    
    else if ($points > 3 && $points < 9) { 
        $quote = $quote + 500;
    }
    return $quote;
    
}

// A fifty year old with 5 license points, results = 800
$quote = 300;
$quote = check_age($quote, 50);
$quote = check_license_points($quote, 5);
echo $quote . "\n";

// A 50 year old with 2 license points, results = 300
$quote = 300;
$quote = check_age($quote, 50);
$quote = check_license_points($quote, 2);
echo $quote . "\n";

// A 50 year old with 50 license points, results = die
$quote = 300;
$quote = check_age($quote, 50);
$quote = check_license_points($quote, 50);
echo $quote . "\n";

?>

Here's the "Object Oriented" way:

<?php

class Quote {
    var $quote = 300;
    var $age;
    var $points;
    
    function delcine() {
        die('You have been declined.' . "\n");
    }    
    
    function set_age($new_age) {
        $this->age = $new_age;    
    }
    
    function set_points($new_points) {
        $this->points = $new_points;    
    }
    
    function get_quote() {
        
        //Age
        if ($this->age < 17) { 
            $this->delcine(); 
        }    
        else if ($this->age >= 17 && $this->age <= 20) { 
            $this->quote = $this->quote + 200;
        }
        
        // Points
        if ($this->points > 9) { 
            $this->delcine(); 
        }    
        else if ($this->points > 3 && $this->points < 9) { 
            $this->quote = $this->quote + 500;
        }        
        
        return $this->quote;  
    }    
    
}

// A fifty year old with 5 license points, results = 800
$quote = new Quote;
$quote->set_age(50);
$quote->set_points(5);
echo $quote->get_quote() . "\n";


// A 50 year old with 2 license points, results = 300
$quote = new Quote;
$quote->set_age(50);
$quote->set_points(2);
echo $quote->get_quote() . "\n";

// A 50 year old with 50 license points, results = die
$quote = new Quote;
$quote->set_age(50);
$quote->set_points(50);
echo $quote->get_quote() . "\n";

?>

PS: Check the >, <, <=, >= conditions for 9 points.

I followed your wording to do the boolean but the code ends up having no calculable value for 9.
