Add a total in a PHP Scoreboard

[colin1996]

Hi All
Newbie question.

I'm trying to add a total of the $scores in a scoreboard at the bottom of the table.

Can anyone help please ?

This is what i have so far
[CODE]
function leaderboard()
{
$scores = get_scores();
$num_scores = count( $scores );
usort( $scores, 'cmp_scores' );

$HTML = '<table id="entries">' . "\n";
$HTML .= '<thead>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <th>BDM</th>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <th>Attendees</th>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</thead>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '<tbody>' . "\n";

for ( $i = 0; $i < $num_scores; $i++ )
{
$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . str_format( $scores[$i]['name'] ) . '</td>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . $scores[$i]['points'] . '</td>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";
}

$HTML .= '</tbody>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '<tfoot>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <th colspan="2"></th>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</tfoot>' . "\n";

$HTML .= '</table>' . "\n";

return $HTML;
[CODE]

Everything functions beautifully - apart from the total I need to show in the 'tfoot' section.

Thanks in advance

Instead of using for, try using foreach. It's designed to split an array and run through each value once.

PHP Code:

$totalScore = 0;
foreach($scores as $arr)
{
$totalScore += $arr['points']; //This will get you your total if your lookng for the total of all the users combined
$HTML .= '<tr>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . str_format( $arr['name'] ) . '</td>' . "\n";
$HTML .= ' <td class="player">' . $arr['points'] . '</td>' . "\n";
$HTML .= '</tr>' . "\n";
} 


If you get an error with the foreach try something like this in place of it

PHP Code:

foreach($scores as $i => $arr)
