dpcampan Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi all, can any of you wizards help me with a question. I am trying to make a pub quz scoreboard and i am a bit stuck totalling up the round scores. I have a table that stores 'teamid', 'teamname', and then their round scores 'round01', 'round02'..... I can pull all of this data out of the database and format as an html table but i'm stuck on getting their total score. I want it to be automatically generated from their round scores and dont want to have to input it manually.Here is my code so far $query = "SELECT * from scoreboard ORDER BY teamid DESC"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); echo '<table align="center" table border="1" bordercolour="#00778f" cellpadding="5">'; echo '<tr> <th>Team Name</th> <th>1</th> <th>2</th> <th>3</th> <th>score</th> </tr>'; while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($data)) echo ' <td>' . $row['teamname'] . '</td> <td>' . $row['round01'] . '</td> <td>' . $row['round02'] . '</td> <td>' . $row['round03'] . '</td> <td>' . $row['round01'+'round02'+'round03'] . '</td> </tr>'; echo '</table>'; i know that <td>' . $row['round01'+'round02'+'round03'] . '</td> is wrong but it gives you the idea of what i want it to do. any help would be greatly appreciated.Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 $query = "SELECT teamid, teamname, round1, round2, round3, (round1+round2+round3) as total from scoreboard ORDER BY total DESC"; But better to correctly normalize your data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
