Maq Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Moving to MySQL to get the query first. Not sure what you mean by "with array" but you have to SUM() "hours" and "Shift Cost" and GROUP BY() "Username". '£' may give you some trouble. Try it yourself and post what you come up with.

Maq Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That's the general idea, some suggestions: - Use complete tags (<?php). - Better formatting. It will help you in the long run. - Instead of using or die (which I think is OK for debugging) properly handle errors - http://www.phpfreaks.com/blog/or-die-must-die Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258344-sql-sum-with-array/#findComment-1324288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
