calculate sum total of all the figures in a column

Question

I have a table that I want to calculate the sum total of all the values in column \"Price\"

Answer 1

mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($db);

$sql = "select sum(column) from table";
$q = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($q);

echo 'Sum: ' . $row[0];

Replace variable names and table/column names as needed.
