  Cast it as an integer:

  print (int) $output->DownloadCount;

    I am trying to print the number of downloads a user's attachments have produced and am 95% there. I just don't know how to print zero if the SUM returns nothing.

    here's what I have so far (with download count module installed which creates file_downloads table)

    <?php
    $query= "SELECT SUM(count) AS DownloadCount
    FROM upload
    JOIN files 
    ON upload.fid = files.fid
    JOIN file_downloads
    ON files.filepath = CONCAT( 'sites/default/files/', file_downloads.filename )
    WHERE (files.uid = $account->uid)";
    $results = db_query($query);
    while($output = db_fetch_object($results)){
    print $output->DownloadCount;
    }
    ?>

    works perfectly for those whose content have created downloads. For those who haven't, the result is a blank space. How can I print a nice fat "0"??

    regards

    Neil
