Wondering if this is even possible

[Shadowing]

Hey guys wondering if this is possible or not

im wanting to add the b_x with the b_y so i select it out of the data base as 1 number.

The math im really going to do is more complex but just using add to simplifly what i want to do.

i would obviously need to assign it in some way so I can grab it to like $variable = $star_check1[];

 

This will acctually become a loop grabing several rows so if i could change it into one number would be alot easier.

 

 

 

$star_check3 = "SELECT b_x,b_y FROM planets WHERE x = '".($x)."' AND y = '".($y)."'";
$star_check2 = mysql_query($star_check3) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$star_check1 = mysql_fetch_array($star_check2);

SELECT (b_x + b_y) as sum FROM planets WHERE x = '".($x)."' AND y = '".($y)."'"

 

Should work.
