So I'm trying to figure out how to do a little math in php to add up the number of hours that people have worked (Still on the timecard for anyone following along at home) I have it inserting time in and timeout as timestamps into a MySQL database, from there, I use a while loop to display the total hours for the day which works perfectly, now though, they want it to total for the week... I think what I need to do is create an array of my total time for the day then add that up in another loop to display the total... That seems like overkill to me though... is there a better way to do it? Here is the relevant part of the code: while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

          $timein = date("m/d/y h:i:s", $row['timein']);
          $timeout = date("m/d/y h:i:s", $row['timeout']);
          $totalday = ($row['timeout'] - $row['timein']);
          $totalday = $totalday/60/60;
          $totalday = round($totalday, 2);
          $totalweek = ?!@?#!@#?!@#!$%^!23?!@#!@#?!@#?#$&*^
                     echo <<<ADMIN
                            <tr>
          <td>{$row['Name']}</td>
          <td>{$timein}</td>
          <td>{$timeout}</td>
          <td>{$totalday}</td>

sounds like a mysql job.. whats the SQL?

Actually where this is displayed, it is just a display portion, but when I do the insert here is my SQL: switch ($_GET['opt']){ case "signin"; //$sqlopt = "INSERT INTO timeStore ('timein', 'timeout', 'empID') VALUES('{$timenow}', 'NULL', '{$auth['empID']}')"; $sqlopt = "INSERT INTO timeStore VALUES(\"{$timenow}\", \"NULL\", \"{$_SESSION['userInfo']['empID']}\", \"\", \"{$_SESSION['userInfo']['fullname']}\")"; break; case "signout"; $sqlopt = "UPDATE timeStore SET timeout=\"{$timenow}\" WHERE empID=\"{$_SESSION['userInfo']['empID']}\" AND timeout=\"NULL\""; break; } if(isset($_GET['opt'])){ mysql_query($sqlopt) or die("sqlopt failed: " .mysql_error()); echo "<BR>SQL OPT: ".$sqlopt."<BR>"; header("Location: timecard.php"); echo "BReaking at opt get"; } Yes I know it's ugly with all the escaping but I'm working my way through that :P

Per an e-mail I just received suggesting that it may be wise to include the select SQL here it is: $sql = "SELECT * from timestore order by empID"; $row[]= mysql_query($sql) or die("Could not perform query: " . mysql_error()); $result = $row[0]; -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
