<?
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","root","goobers") or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("workorder", $link);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(`ElecRem`) AS total
FROM orders", $link);
//$total = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo mysql_result($result); // outputs
total
//return $total[0];
echo mysql_error(); ?>
It would REALLY REALLY help if you gave us some idea why you think there is
anything wrong with this code. You haven't indicated how the code is
misbehaving or what statements, if any, are working correctly and which are
failing.
Are you successfully getting connected to the server? If yes, how do you
know?
Are you successfully connecting the database ('workorder')? If yes, how do
you know?
What happens when you run the query? You haven't given us any clue at all.
Does the statement work but return an incorrect answer? Does it fail with an
error message? If so, what is the error message?
Or is it the statement that computes 'total' that is failing in some way? If
so, what is wrong with it?
All you've done is given us a fragment of code without clearly identifying
the failing code or giving us any real symptoms, other than a remark about a
summing problem.
Without more information it is VERY hard to guess what might be wrong.
