Create a html box in your page. Place the code in the html box. The code must be:

<?
echo $total;
?>

Move the box wherever you want.

You can also format the text as you like, both as font type / size / colour / style and as background. The code would be:

<font style="font-size:15px;BACKGROUND-COLOR:#FFFF00" color="#FF0000" face="Arial"><b><i><u><? echo $total;?></u></i></b></font>

the tags <b> </b> <i> </i> <u> </u> are for Bold, Italics, and Underlined.



Trick: write whatever text you want in BV. Format and colour it as you like. Then rig***lick on the text, and select "html". You will see something like:

<font style="font-size:15px;BACKGROUND-COLOR:#FFFF00" color="#FF0000" face="Arial"><b><i><u>Text to display</u></i></b></font>

Change the part in red with <? echo $total;?> and you are done.

Please note that this is php, so only when the page is published you will be able to see the text, not in preview.

wow! thanks you soooooo much. its working. :)
