In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to sum MySQL column using PHP/MySQLi. I've also included in this tutorial the use of GROUP BY in mysqli query and the 2 mysqli methods which I have included in the comments. This tutorial does not include a good design but will give you idea on the topic.

Creating our Database

First, we're going to create our database.
1. Open phpMyAdmin.
2. Click databases, create a database and name it as "sum".
3. After creating a database, click the SQL and paste the below codes. See image below for detailed instruction.

  1. CREATE TABLE `product` (
  2.   `productid` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  3.   `product_name` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
  4. PRIMARY KEY(`productid`)
  5. ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
  1. CREATE TABLE `sales` (
  2.   `salesid` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  3.   `productid` INT(11) NOT NULL,
  4.   `sales_qty` DOUBLE NOT NULL,
  5. PRIMARY KEY(`salesid`)
  6. ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Inserting Data into our Database

Next is to insert sample data into our database. I this tutorial, we're gonna insert sample products.

1. Click the "sum" database that we have created.
2. Click SQL and paste the code below.

  1. INSERT INTO `product` (`product_name`) VALUES
  2. ('Apple'),
  3. ('Orange'),
  4. ('Strawberry');

Creating our Connection

Next step is to create a database connection and save it as "conn.php". This file will serve as our bridge between our form and our database. To create the file, open your HTML code editor and paste the code below after the tag.

  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. //MySQLi Procedural
  4. //$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","sum");
  5. //if (!$conn) {
  6. //	die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
  7. //}
  8.  
  9. //MySQLi OOP
  10. $conn = new mysqli("localhost","root","","sum");
  11. if ($conn->connect_error) {
  12.     die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
  13. } 
  14.  
  15. ?>

Creating Our Table and our Form

Next is to create out table and our add form. In this case, we will create a sample sales table and add sale form. We name this as "index.php".

  1. <?php include('conn.php'); session_start(); ?>

  8. 	<h3>Sales Table</h3>
  9. 	<table border="1">
  10. 		<th>Product Name</th>
  11. 		<th>Quantity</th>
  12. 	<?php
  13. 		$total_qty=0;
  14.  
  15. 		//MySQLi Procedural
  16. 		//$query=mysqli_query($conn,"select * from sales left join product on product.productid=sales.productid order by product.product_name asc");
  17. 		//while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
  18. 		/*	?>
  19. 				<tr>
  20. 					<td><?php echo $row['product_name']; ?></td>
  21. 					<td><?php echo $row['sales_qty']; ?></td>
  22. 				</tr>
  23.  
  24. 			<?php */
  25. 		//	$total_qty += $row['sales_qty'];
  26. 		//}
  27.  
  28. 		//MySQLi OOP
  29. 		$query=$conn->query("select * from sales left join product on product.productid=sales.productid order by product.product_name asc");
  30. 		while($row=$query->fetch_array()) {
  31. 			?>
  32. 				<tr>
  33. 					<td><?php echo $row['product_name']; ?></td>
  34. 					<td><?php echo $row['sales_qty']; ?></td>

  36. 			<?php 
  37. 			$total_qty += $row['sales_qty'];
  38. 		}
  39. 	?>
  40. 	<tr>
  41. 		<td>TOTAL QTY:</td>
  42. 		<td><?php echo $total_qty; ?></td>
  43.  
  44. 	</tr>
  45. 	</table>
  46. 	<div style="position:relative; left: 300px; top: -300px;">
  47. 	<h3>Group By Product</h3>
  48. 	<ul>
  49. 	<?php 
  50. 		//MySQLi Procedural
  51. 		//$a=mysqli_query($conn,"select *, sum(sales_qty) as total_sales from sales left join product on product.productid=sales.productid group by sales.productid");
  52. 		//while($arow=mysqli_fetch_array($a)){
  53. 		/*	?>
  54. 			<li>Total <?php echo $arow['product_name'] ?>: <?php echo $arow['total_sales']; ?></li>
  55. 			<?php */
  56. 		//}
  57.  
  58. 		//MySQLi OOP
  59. 		$a=$conn->query("select *, sum(sales_qty) as total_sales from sales left join product on product.productid=sales.productid group by sales.productid");
  60. 		while($arow=$a->fetch_array()){
  61. 			?>
  62. 			<li>Total <?php echo $arow['product_name'] ?>: <?php echo $arow['total_sales']; ?></li>
  63. 			<?php 
  64. 		}
  65. 	?>
  66.  
  67. 	</ul>
  68. 	<h3>Insert New Sales</h3>
  69. 	<form method="POST" action="add_sale.php">
  70. 		<select name="sales_product">
  71. 			<option value="0">Select Product</option>
  72. 			<?php
  73. 				$p=$conn->query("select * from product");
  74. 				while($prow=$p->fetch_array()){
  75. 					?>
  76. 					<option value="<?php echo $prow['productid']; ?>"><?php echo $prow['product_name']; ?></option>
  77. 					<?php
  78. 				}
  79.  
  80. 				//$p=mysqli_query($conn,"select * from product");
  81. 				//while($prow=mysqli_fetch_array($p)){
  82. 				/*	?>
  83. 					<option value="<?php echo $prow['productid']; ?>"><?php echo $prow['product_name']; ?></option>
  84. 					<?php */
  85. 				//}
  86. 			?>
  87. 		</select>
  88. 		Qty: <input type="text" name="sales_qty" required>
  89. 		<input type="submit" value="ADD">
  90. 	</form>
  91. 	<span>
  92. 		<?php
  93. 			if (isset($_SESSION['msg'])){
  94. 				echo $_SESSION['msg'];
  95. 				unset ($_SESSION['msg']);
  96. 			}
  97. 		?>
  98. 	</span>
  99. 	</div>
  100. </body>
  101. </html>

Creating our Add Code

Lastly, we create our add sale code. We name this code as "add_sale.php".

  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. 	include('conn.php');
  4. 	session_start();
  5. 	$product=$_POST['sales_product'];
  6. 	$qty=$_POST['sales_qty'];
  7. 		if ($product==0){
  8. 			$_SESSION['msg']="Please select a product";
  9. 			header('location:index.php');
  10. 		}
  11. 		else{
  12. 			//MySQLi Procedural
  13. 			//mysqli_query($conn,"insert into sales (productid,sales_qty) values ('$product','$qty')");
  14.  
  15. 			//MySQLi OOP
  16. 			$conn->query("insert into sales (productid,sales_qty) values ('$product','$qty')");
  17. 			header('location:index.php');
  18. 		}
  19. ?>

how to make the amount for the month and how many people ordered?

To have the order of the month..simply add a new column for "sales" table and name it whatever you like for ex "sales_date". Then in the add code, add value to "sales_date" using NOW() ex. "INSERT INTO sales (productid,sales_qty,sales_date) VALUES ('$product','$qty',NOW())". Don't forget to set up your timezone using date_default_timezone_set() function.

Then when getting the sum for the month simply add a WHERE clause in the query ex "WHERE month(sales_date) = '6'". Note: 6 represents JUNE.
