Ok, I have this so far

$query = "SELECT * FROM properties where
single_rooms+double_rooms+twin_rooms<10 and rent < 100";

This is fine but what I really want to do it this

$query = "SELECT * FROM properties WHERE
single_rooms+double_rooms+twin_rooms<10 AND
single_rooms+double_rooms+twin_rooms<10 AND rent < 100";

This is starting to get messy. Can I set up an alias for the total? I tried
this without success.

$query = "SELECT *, single_rooms+double_rooms+twin_rooms AS total FROM
properties WHERE total >2 AND total <10
