I have a form where I need to insert a value when the record is updated.
A grade is being entered in a separate field and I need the form to calculate the credits that the student earned.
A grade of A, B or C is equal to 5 credits while anything else (D, F, W) is equal to 0 credits.
What would be the simplest way to accomplish this?

I would do a case statement. Or an if/elseif statement.
http://us3.php.net/switch
If/else statement ...
if ($i == 0) {
echo "i equals 0";
} elseif ($i == 1) {
echo "i equals 1";
} elseif ($i == 2) {
echo "i equals 2";
}
Switch statement
switch ($i) {
case 0:
echo "i equals 0";
break;
case 1:
echo "i equals 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "i equals 2";
break;
}
Obviously change the echo statements to something to set values, etc.
