Add a total in a scoreboard

[scratch1]

Hi All

Newbie question.

 

I'm trying to add a total of the $scores in a scoreboard at the bottom of the table.

 

Can anyone help please ?

 

This is what i have so far

function leaderboard()

{

$scores = get_scores();

$num_scores = count( $scores );

usort( $scores, 'cmp_scores' );

 

$HTML = '<table id="entries">' . "\n";

$HTML .= '<thead>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";

$HTML .= ' <th>BDM</th>' . "\n";

$HTML .= ' <th>Attendees</th>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</thead>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '<tbody>' . "\n";

 

for ( $i = 0; $i < $num_scores; $i++ )

{

$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";

$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . str_format( $scores[$i]['name'] ) . '</td>' . "\n";

$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . $scores[$i]['points'] . '</td>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";

}

 

$HTML .= '</tbody>' . "\n";

 

$HTML .= '<tfoot>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";

$HTML .= ' <th colspan="2"></th>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</tfoot>' . "\n";

 

$HTML .= '</table>' . "\n";

 

return $HTML;

 

Everything functions beautifully - apart from the total I need to show in the 'tfoot' section.

 

Thanks in advance

From your question, maybe this answer that you looking for

 

[cut]

$sum = 0; // dummy variable to calc total score

for ( $i = 0; $i < $num_scores; $i++ )
   {
      $HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
      $HTML .= '   <td class="player">' . str_format( $scores[$i]['name'] ) . '</td>' . "\n";
      $HTML .= '   <td class="player">' . $scores[$i]['points'] . '</td>' . "\n";
      $HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";
      $sum += $scores[$i]['points']; //every loop, add the current score to dummy variable
   }

   $HTML .= '</tbody>' . "\n";

   $HTML .= '<tfoot>' . "\n";
   $HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
   $HTML .= '   <th colspan="2">' . $sum . '</th>' . "\n"; //output the result
