frost Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well this: <? $total = 10; $row['amount'] = 5; $total = $total + $row['amount']; echo"$total"; ?> Spits out 15.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Edit: darn, too slow on the Post button... same answer as above ^^^ Umm. He is using php code to total up values, but only wants to echo the final total. The answer is simple, put the echo $total; statement after the end of your while() loop.
