Query multiple totals at once in MYSQL PHP - php

Question

I have a a table in my DB that has multiple columns with numbers I would like to query all the rows in 1 query with separate totals for all rows in each column in my db.
like so
$sql = '
SELECT sum(TOTAL1)
, sum(TOTAL2)
, sum(TOTAL3)
, sum(TOTAL4)
FROM TABLE WHERE ID = '.$ID.'';
it works when I do it with a single column query like this.
$sql = 'SELECT sum(TOTAL1) FROM TABLE WHERE ID = '.$ID.'';
but I can't seem to get it to work for multiples in 1 query does anyone know of a more proper way of doing this instead of in separate queries?

Answer 1

$sql = 'SELECT (sum(TOTAL1)+sum(TOTAL2)+sum(TOTAL3)+sum(TOTAL4)) AS FINALTOTAL FROM TABLE WHERE ID = '.$ID.'';

Answer 2

Use aliases.
Sidenote: Add your WHERE clause to the tested examples I've given below.
SELECT sum(TOTAL1) as total1, sum(TOTAL2) as total2
which if you want to use seperate aliases, is handy if you wish to echo them as different entities.
For example:
$query = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT SUM(col1) as total1,
SUM(col2) as total2,
SUM(col3) as total3 FROM table ");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
echo $row['total1']; // echo'd 125
echo "<br>";
echo $row['total2']; // echo'd 225
echo "<br>";
echo $row['total3']; // echo'd 2000
}
Sidenote: My three columns contained the following:
col1 in 2 rows 25, 100
col2 in 2 rows 25, 200
col3 in 2 rows 1000, 1000
To echo the total of all rows and for example: (and inside the while loop)
$total = $row['total1'] + $row['total2'] + $row['total3'];
echo $total;
Or in one go and as one alias and one row echo'd:
SELECT sum(TOTAL1 + TOTAL2 + TOTAL3) as total FROM table
I.e.:
$query = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT SUM(col1 + col2 + col3) as total FROM table ");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
echo $row['total'];
}

NOTE: DATA TYPE must be same for all fields which you want to SUM
By following query you can have SUM(field1)+SUM(field2)+ SUM(field3) .....n in 1 single field
I used this query for just 2 fields and both are integers
See this is my table definition
create table `siso_area_operativa` (
`id_area_operativa` int ,
`area_operativa` varchar (8),
`responsable` int
);
and this is query which you want
SELECT SUM(a.field1) FROM
(
SELECT
SUM(id_area_operativa) field1
FROM
siso_area_operativa
UNION ALL
SELECT SUM(responsable) field1
FROM
siso_area_operativa ) AS a
Result of this is
SUM(id_area_operativa) + SUM(responsable) in single field
ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!
