I've been at this for quite some time and just can't figure it out.I have a html table and have to find the total sum of the values in the $total/Sale Cost (last) row. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction.

Code below:
<?php

print ("<table border=1><tr><th>Sale Number</th><th>Item</th><th>Item Cost</th><th>Units Sold</th><th>Sale Cost</th></tr>");

    for($x=0; $x<=20; $x=$x+1) {

        /*
        $sofa_total = 0;
        $table_total = 0;
        $chair_total = 0;
        $box_total = 0;
        $tablecloth_total = 0;
        */

        $amount = rand(1,10);
        $res = rand(1, 5);
        $object = 0;
        $total = $amount * $cost;




                if ($res == 1) {
                            $cost = 235.00;
                            $item = "sofa";
                            }
                        elseif ($res == 2) {
                            $cost = 125.00;
                            $item = "table";
                                }
                        elseif ($res == 3) {
                            $cost = 25.99;
                            $item = "chair";
                                }
                        elseif ($res == 4) {
                            $cost = 15.25;
                            $item = "box";
                                }
                        elseif ($res == 5) {
                            $cost = 23.50;
                            $item = "tablecloth";
                                }

        print ("<tr>");
             print ("<td>" . $table[$x][0] = $x+1 . "</td>");
             print ("<td>" . $table[$x][1] = $item . "</td>");
             print ("<td>" . $table[$x][2] = $cost . "</td>");
             print ("<td>" . $table[$x][3] = $amount . "</td>");
             print ("<td>" . $table[$x][4] = $total  . "</td>");
             }
        print ("</tr>");

                if ($object==0) {

                    $sofa_total = $sofa_total + $amount;

                    } elseif ($object==1) {

                    $table_total = $table_total + $amount;

                    } elseif ($object==2) {

                    $chair_total = $chair_total + $amount;

                    } elseif ($object==3) {

                    $box_total = $box_total + $amount;

                    } elseif ($object==4) {

                    $tablecloth_total = $tablecloth_total + $amount;

                    }


print ("</table>");

Can you please normalize your question am not actually make up my mind I mean what actually you want to do with this code??!

@kevinp2012 seriously, are you asking the OP to improve his English?
@dodgers125 I'm not sure what you want but maybe I can give some pointers about your code:

<!-- header row, the 1 must be in quotes: border="1"-->
<table border="1">
<tr><th>Sale Number</th>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Item Cost</th>
<th>Units Sold</th>
<th>Sale Cost</th>
</tr>
<?php
/* Initialise the $totalsArray where we will store the total sales amount for each item */
$totalsArray = array('sofa'=>0, 'table'=>0, 'chair'=>0, 'box'=>0, 'tablecloth'=>0);
for ($x=0; $x<=20; $x++){
    $amount = rand(1,10);
    $res = rand(1, 5);
    /* The following line makes the later condition "if ($object==0)" always true.
    Seems a bit pointless to me, but maybe it's only for testing? */
    $object = 0;
    /* $cost doesn't exist in the script yet, so this next line must come under the switch */
    //$total = $amount * $cost;
    /* I prefer a switch than elseif's for this job */
    switch($res){
        case 1:
        $cost = 235.00;
        $item = "sofa";
        $totalsArray['sofa'] += ($cost*$amount);
        break;
        /////
        case 2:
        $cost = 125.00;
        $item = "table";
        $totalsArray['table'] += ($cost*$amount);
        break;
        /////
        case 3: 
        $cost = 25.99;
        $item = "chair";
        $totalsArray['chair'] += ($cost*$amount);
        break;
        /////
        case 4:
        $cost = 15.25;
        $item = "box";
        $totalsArray['box'] += ($cost*$amount);
        break;
        /////
        case 5:
        $cost = 23.50;
        $item = "tablecloth";
        $totalsArray['tablecloth'] += ($cost*$amount);
        break;
    }//switch
    //set the total now that $cost is defined...
    $total = $amount * $cost;
    //write the table and store vars in $table array
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>" . $table[$x][0] = $x+1 . "</td>\n";
    echo "<td>" . $table[$x][1] = $item . "</td>\n";
    echo "<td>" . $table[$x][2] = $cost . "</td>\n";
    echo "<td>" . $table[$x][3] = $amount . "</td>\n";
    echo "<td>" . $table[$x][4] = $total . "</td>\n";
    echo "</tr>\n";
}//for loop
?>
<!-- Don't forget to close the table, in HTML just for tidyness-->
</table>

<?php
/* for demonstration purposes, show the totalsArray */
/* use a foreach loop to display totals however you want */
echo "Totals array: <br />\n";
foreach($totalsArray as $k => $v){
    echo "Amount of total $k's sold is $v\n<br />";
}
?>
