RabbitPack Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hello everyone, love these forums... Okay so the project I'm working on deals with me working with PHP for the first time. Here it goes This is the PHP code <?php $host = 'localhost'; // Hostname of MySQL server $dbUser = ' :P :P '; // Username for MySQL $dbPass = ' :P :P '; // Password for user $dbName = ' :P :P '; // Database name if (!$dbConn = mysql_connect($host, $dbUser, $dbPass)) { die('Could not connect to server'); } if (!mysql_select_db($dbName, $dbConn)) { die('Could not select database'); } $query = "SELECT product_name, product_quantity FROM transaction_detail WHERE product_name='the_title();'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "Name : {$row['product_name']} <br>". "Quantity : {$row['product_quantity']} <br>"; } mysql_close($dbConn); ?> This is the output Items Sold: Name : Transparent Toaster Quantity : 1 Name : Transparent Toaster Quantity : 5 This is my desired output Items Sold: Name: Transparent Toaster Quantity: 6 What am I doing wrong? Can one of you help me? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169163-solved-adding-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerny Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 replace both product_quantity with SUM(product_quantity) and add "GROUP BY product_name" to the query Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169163-solved-adding-php/#findComment-892593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
