this is untested but should get you going down the right road and this is assuming that you add the value = (6*X + 1*Y)
you didn't say that, so I am just guessing. <?php $var = 4; $x = 1; $y = 2; $value = 0; if ( ($var % 2) == 0 ) { $value = ($var * $x); } else { $value = ( ( ($var-1) * $x ) + $y ); } echo $value; ?> Give this a shot, it should give you the results that you are looking for. But remember, this is untested, and just a guess as to the results you are looking for.
