I have searched about every category of datatables and could not find a solution to my problem. I could also not find any alternatives on other forums and will appreciate your help please.
I need to do a large sum on a returned data field's data and then enter that returned sum into a datatable cell.
What I mean by that -
$num1 = 10;
$num2 = 20;
$total = $num1 + $num2;
//this is where falter...
$columns = array(
array( 'db' => 'ID', 'dt' => 0 ),
array( 'db' => 'agedays', 'dt' => 6 ),
array( 'db' => 'quantity', 'dt' => 7 ),
array('NOT DB BUT $total', 'dt' => 8),
);
I don't want someone to write the code, just point me in the right direction please.

Probably the easiest way would be to do that on the client with
columns.render- you can render the data there any way you like. See here, it's doubling the age column and putting it into the end of the table.Colin
@Colin, thank you very much, I did a test and it works perfect. I did find a work around though and is now stuck with the type post method which I will ask about on another post.
Much appreciated.
