can you paste your code here?

[major insult]

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

 

 

$total  += $row['amount'];

echo"$total";

[frost]

Try:

 

$total = $total  + $row['amount'];

echo"$total";

[major insult]

still shows the math

[frost]

Well this:

 

<?

$total = 10;
$row['amount'] = 5;

$total = $total  + $row['amount'];

echo"$total";

?>

 

Spits out 15. Are you sure you removed the = sign?

Move your echo out of the while loop.

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.
