how to add in php?

[codrgii]

This is what im trying

 

$users= odbc_exec($con, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE");
$total = odbc_result($users, 1);

$users4= odbc_exec($con, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE4");
$total4 = odbc_result($users4, 1);

$users5 = "$total + $total4";
echo ""$users5"";

 

and it dosen't work,  it collects the data from 2 different tables, and i want to add them up into one final result, how would i manage to do this?

[Philip]

$users5 = "$total + $total4";
echo ""$users5"";

 

should be

$users5 = $total + $total4;
echo $users5;

[codrgii]

my echo has stuff already inside it such as

 

$users5 = $total + $total4;
echo '<table>with info here</table><br>'.$users5.' ';

 

the problem with that is that it dosent show the $users5 part and is blank, whys that and how do i make the result show?

Well, I'm not familiar with odbc, but if you echo $total and $total4 separately and they don't show up then something is up with your queries.

find the error:

<?php
echo odbc_errormsg($con);
?>
