loop, add,?

[ayushchd]

i have this bit of code :

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

echo $row['pmt'];

}

Now what i want to do is that add all the $row['pmt'], store the added value in a variable and display......

[jatar_k]

$mytotal = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$mytotal .= $row['pmt'];
}
echo $mytotal;

Thanks jatar_k,

But cud u tell me why did u use .=?

Wht is the dot there for?

[jatar_k]

the dot is the concatenation operator [php.net] which is a mistake, since you said 'add'

it should be

$mytotal = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$mytotal += $row['pmt'];
}
echo $mytotal;

sorry about that
