Calculate Wax Weight for a Round Mold

To calculate a reasonable estimate of how much wax is required for a candle, simply enter the diameter and height of the candle you are making. Use decimals if needed.

[insert_php]

while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)){
$$k=$v; //Yes, that’s two dollar signs
}

echo ‘

‘;

//outputs the first box and it’s value
echo ‘
‘;
echo ‘ diameter (inches)

‘;

$_GET[‘ans_num’]=($_GET[‘fst_num’]/2)*($_GET[‘fst_num’]/2)*3.1416*($_GET[‘snd_num’])*0.55411*0.91/16;
$_GET[‘ans_numoz’]=($_GET[‘fst_num’]/2)*($_GET[‘fst_num’]/2)*3.1416*($_GET[‘snd_num’])*0.55411*0.91;
