Hi, the scenario is:
I run an apartment complex, someone comes in to pay their rent. I fill in an html form
to record payment(update "payments" database table) and print a receipt.
I hope u will look at it and offer advice. I hope to combine both
the payment and receipt. I don't understand the "non numeric" error and I'm obviously doing
my echoes wrong as the receipt# is not displayed on the receipt(instead of the value in the
"numberstbl" it displays "receiptno".

the code:

<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<title>rent payment and receipt</title>
</head>
<body><center>
<?php
echo "<center>";echo date('m/d/y');echo "</center>";
// Include config file
require_once "getpayments.php";

//MySqli Select Query$results = $conn->query("SELECT rentdue FROM payments");

$unit=$_POST['unit']; $rentpaid=$_POST['rentpaid'];
$hudpay=$_POST['hudpay']; $datepaid=$_POST['datepaid'];

$unit='unit'; $rentpaid='rentpaid'; $rentdue='rentdue'; $hudpay='hudpay';
$prevbal='prevbal'; $latechg='latechg'; $datepaid='datepaid'; $prev="0.00"; $late="0.00";

// if no pay or part pay add $10 to latechg and amount not paid to prevbal
if ($rentpaid < $rentdue)
{ $latechg = $latechg + "10.00"; $prevbal = $rentdue - $rentpaid; }
// if payment = rentdue
elseif ($rentpaid == $rentdue)
 { $prevbal = $prev; $latechg = $late; }

// if over-payment subtract over-payment from prevbal
elseif ($rentpaid > $rentdue )
{ 
$prevbal = $rentpaid  - $rentdue; $latechg = $late; } // ***  29 non numeric both *** 

//MySqli Select Query
$results = $conn->query("SELECT receiptno FROM numberstbl");
$receiptno='receiptno';

On line 29, you have the code

$prevbal = $rentpaid  - $rentdue; $latechg = $late;

So basically you're saying take the value of $rentpaid, subtract $rentdue, and stick the difference into the $prevbal variable.

However, on line 16, you have the code:

$unit='unit'; $rentpaid='rentpaid'; $rentdue='rentdue'; $hudpay='hudpay';

So here we are setting the value of the $rentpaid variable to the string 'rentpaid' and the value of the $rentdue variable to the string 'rentdue'.

So it's complaining because how are you expecting it to set $prevbal equal to the value of $rentpaid minus $rentdue? How do you expect it to do a math equation and calculate the difference of two strings? It's literally complaining that it can't do a math equation with non-numeric values. It needs numbers :)

Then it's complaining about an error on line 37, but I actually think this translates to line 35 in the code above.

<b><?php echo $_POST["receiptno"]; ?>

Here it's saying that you're trying to print the value when a POST is done passing in the receiptno field into the form, but complaining that field is not being passed into the form.

Good luck!
