my code (it not work):

$Current = date("Y-m-d" ,strtotime("now"));
$query=mysql_query("SELECT * from item where date < $Current order by date");     
    while($re=mysql_fetch_array($query)){
    echo $total = $total + $re['amount'];
    echo $re['date'];
    }

Isn’t this can work nicely ?

Have you looked into MySQL’s WITH ROLLUP option.

Something like this

SELECT date,amount,item_id FROM table GROUP BY date,item_id WITH ROLLUP
