Hi.

 

I have a list of prices in my database - I.E:

 

NAME ------------  PRICE

-----------------------------

APPLE ------------- 1.00

PEAR --------------- 1.00

BANANA ----------- 1.92

-----------------------------

 

in php i want to add the tables data together to show a total price for that columns data.

 

I.E:

 

Total cost: 3.92

 

How on earth do I do this? :S!

 

Many Thanks

Fetching information from database

 

Then just add them together. It's not hard. Something like

 

$Total = 0;

while($Row = mysql_fetch_array($Query))

{

$Total += $Row['PRICE'];

}

 

Edit: Also, for future reference, those numbers are not int. Ints are Integers, which are whole numbers only. In most languages you have to specify the data type, and if you used int in one of those languages you wouldn't get decimals
