Answer 1

Try...

SELECT SUM(mood_num) FROM like_mood WHERE img_id= '$imageid'

example..

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(mood_num) FROM like_mood WHERE img_id= '$imageid'");
$sql = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$total = $sql[0];

Answer 2

<?
$toCount = array();
$result_count_like = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM like_mood WHERE img_id='$imageid'");
while($row_like_co = mysql_fetch_array($result_count_like))
{
  $toCount[]=$row_like_co['mood_num']; // THIS IS ROWS NAME
}

echo array_sum($toCount);

?>
