Garethp Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_select.asp 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
