In this example, let’s assume that our table contains the fields: unit_price, quantity and total. We want to automatically calculate the value of the total field by multiplying quantity and unit_price.

Open the tablename.php on your hooks folder.

function tablename_before_insert(&$data, $memberInfo, &$args){
 
    $data['total'] = $data['quantity'] * $data['unit_price'];
 
    return true;
}
