You could try something like this perhaps...
SELECT score FROM highscores WHERE name = 'userD'
then use the result of that to do this:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM highscores WHERE score > 2
rank would then be the result of the above query plus one.

hi everyone,
I' ve a table named as 'highscores', inserting result scores of a game and players name(each player can only play once) what I want to do is to get the "current rank" of a player over a listing of all rows ordered by scores desc.
id -name - score 1 - userA - 8 2 - userB - 3 3 - userC - 10 4 - userD - 2 5 - userE - 7
here is how I figured out this thing:
$sql=mysql_query(SELECT userD FROM highscores ORDER BY score DESC); $i=1; while($scorelist=mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { if($scorelist[name]=='userD') echo "your rank is: $i "; $i++; }
how can I get a specific row's "formatted no" through all affected rows? Is there a MySQL command doing this job that i am unaware of?
thx in adv.
