Hello,

What is the result you are getting when you run your code? Are you not getting the 'exception' echoed to the screen? If so, you will need to check why. Check to see what the actual value of $value4 is as the statement is simple enough and just checks to see if it is over 5000.

If it is failing to print out the exception, then it is likely that the $value4 is not filling properly from the POST. That is where you should start looking.

Kindest Regards,
