Question

Issue

I’ve produced a query to determine the total cost per person for a room and the total number of persons in the room; the total cost per person is returning correctly as is the total number of person in the room; however, when I try to echo the minor multiplication for the total, I am merely getting the display of the numbers I wish to multiply.

For example:
price per person = $1207
total number of person in the room = 2
query result … “1207*2” …

Question:

I’m certain it is something stupid or minor but could use a second set of eyes. How do I rewrite the code below to produce the desired result of $2414?

Here’s the query:

$tourquery = "SELECT t.roomprice, c.totpax 
         FROM clients c, tourprices t 
         WHERE c.roomtype1 = t.roomtype 
         AND c.tourstart = t.tourstart
         AND c.tourbk_id = t.tour_id"; 
$tourresult = $db->query($tourquery); 


while ($roomrate = mysqli_fetch_assoc($tourresult))
   {
echo "Per person amount : {$roomrate['roomprice']}<br />";
echo "Total room amount : {$roomrate['roomprice']}*{$roomrate['totpax']}<br />";

}

Why don’t you do this:

while ($roomrate = mysqli_fetch_assoc($tourresult))
{
    $totalcost = $roomrate['roomprice'] * $roomrate['totpax'];
    echo "Per person amount : {$roomrate['roomprice']}<br />";
    echo "Total room amount : {$totalcost}<br />";
}
