cyberRobot Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 You're using an assignment operator (=) instead of the comparison operator for equals (==).

Solution Barand Posted May 19, 2014 Solution Share Posted May 19, 2014 Why don't you save yourself some coding and SELECT department , SUM(amount) as amt FROM requisition WHERE date = '$new_date' GROUP BY department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
