total sum of a row - php

Question

I have this query which gives me the transactions for a user, and the output is a table with the information. There is this row named basket_value which contains some numbers, and I need to get the sum of those numbers. Could you please help me?
$query3 = 'SELECT users.first_name,users.last_name,users.phone,
retailer.date, SUM(retailer.basket_value),
retailer.time,retailer.location,retailer.type_of_payment
FROM users ,retailer
WHERE users.user_id="'.$id_user.'"
AND users.user_id=retailer.user_id GROUP BY users.user_id';
$result3 = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// Print out result
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result3)) {
echo "Total ". $row['user_id']. " = $". $row['SUM(basket_value)'];
echo "<br />";
}

Answer 1

I suppose that also your query have some problem and suppose that you have an id to retrieve users, I would do in that way
$query3 = 'SELECT users.user_id,users.first_name,users.last_name,
users.phone, retailer.date,
SUM(retailer.basket_value) as total_sum,
retailer.time,retailer.location,retailer.type_of_payment
FROM users ,retailer WHERE users.user_id="'.$id_user.'"
AND users.user_id=retailer.user_id
GROUP BY users.user_id,users.first_name,users.last_name,
users.phone, retailer.date,retailer.time,retailer.location,
retailer.type_of_payment '
$result = $mysqli->query($query3);
Now if you want the sum for each user:
while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) {
echo "Player: ".$row['user_id']." total: ".$row['total_sum'];
}
If you want the WHOLE GLOBAL sum, you have to way:
Modify your query in that way:
SELECT SUM(retailer.basket_value) as total_sum
FROM retailer
Sum into while loop like: $total += $row['total_sum'];

Answer 2

You're missing a GROUP BY on your query. You most likely want to add GROUP BY users.user_id

Answer 3

Try this query:
SELECT u.first_name, u.last_name, u.phone, SUM(r.basket_value) as total_sum
FROM users u
JOIN retailers r
ON u.user_id = r.user_id
WHERE u.user_id="'.$id_user.'"
GROUP BY u.user_id

Answer 4

You can omit all other columns in the select list and only have the sum() aggregate run on the set to avoid the GROUP BY clause.
$query3 = 'SELECT SUM(retailer.basket_value) as total_sum
FROM users ,retailer WHERE users.user_id="'.$id_user.'"
AND users.user_id=retailer.user_id';
