This is SQL not PHP....
You should be doing something like
SELECT COLUMB + CLOLUM AS Something, SomethingElse, AnotherSomethingElse
FROM TABLE
Then you can reference Something as a normal colum in any database table....
Such as echo $Something...
I'm not to sure about the syntax, have a look through the mysql manuals...
It is mentioned there, with examples.
Kind Regards,
