• Then, I try to make a calculation so that Totalpax filed get the amount from Adult + Child column

What have I do :-

• Below is my code..

• Is my code below wrong? if so, how to create a code, so that I just get the amount from single row?..

Thank in advance..

My Code :-

<?php 
foreach($pdo->query("SELECT SUM(adult+child) FROM test WHERE testID = testID") as $totalpax) {
echo $totalpax['SUM(adult+cwhild)'];}
?>

Answer 1

SUM is an aggregate function which totals all the rows for the given expression.

To get a value for each row separately simply add them:

SELECT adult+child as total FROM test

And then

echo $totalpax['total']

Answer 2

This is your query:

SELECT SUM(adult+child)
FROM test
WHERE testID = testID

Start with the WHERE clause. It is comparing a problem to itself -- so this returns information from all rows where testID is not NULL .

What information does it return? That information is the SUM() of two columns. This is an aggregation query that returns one row, which has one column which is the sum of adult + child on basically all rows in the table.

Then, I try to make a calculation so that Totalpax filed get the amount from Adult + Child column.

As you have described the problem, you want an update not a select . That would be:

update test
    set Totalpax = adult + child;
