For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
summing a row in mysql

Posted by doubleclick (doubleclick), 11 February 2005
Not sure if this should be a php or a mysql question, since it includes both.

I have created a database in mysql, and with the help of DreamWeaver, also have a page to view and update its contents.

It's a spreadsheet kind of thing:

Name  Spelling   Math   Science    Total
Ben      12           14        11            
Mary     22           11        22
Sam       3           24        22

All the inividual numbers show up, but I can't figure out how to sum each student's scores, and put them in the web page's table in the "Total" column

Any suggestions?

You could

Code:
<?php

$q = mysql_query("select * from tablename");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q)) {
       $row[total] = $row[science] + $row[spelling] +$row[math];
       # Then your table display code for the row
       }

?>
