This'll do it: <?php $var3_total = 0; while(list($var1,$var2,$var3)=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { printf("<tr> <td>$var1</td> <td>$var2</td> <td>$var3</td> </tr> "); $var3_total += $var3; } echo $var3_total; ?> BTW, for an example like this, you don't need the power of printf(); since the variables are just being substituted straight into the output, it may reduce overhead a bit to replace printf with echo or print. Of course, if the real code is different, please ignore this comment. :) Cheers, Torben -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
