]Hi guys great site you got here, im wondering if someone can give me a hand. im trying to set up stats for a game i play. i have a game that outputs stats to a file called stats.ini i want to take this data and put it in tables. i found out kinda how to do this but it takes everything! and i dont want everything i just want like the top 10 or something. here is the code im using now

<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FF8a00">
<?
// file() makes an array of each line of the file
$players = file("/home/council/public_html/stats/stats.ini");

echo "<table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1>";

// loop through each line
foreach($players as $each){

// explode line into an array
$line = explode(",",$each);
echo "<tr><td>".$line[0]."</td><td>".$line[1]."</td><td>".$line[2]."</td></tr>\n";
}

echo "</table>";

and it displays this

here is the data file

I'm guessing that you have some sort of number for each player that you can decide which are the best 10 players!

If so i would make a file with fields like: [playername];[playerscore]

then compare the highest [playerscore] for each player (limit it to 10 using FOR loops, or others) and then display it.

well the .ini file lists all the players then it lists kills then deaths and then it averages them and lists points. i just need a way to maybe insert these fields into a database or display the top points. when u click on that link all it does is display exactly what the stats.ini looks like.

im sorry im a noob with php so i dont know too many commands.

hey man i got this far

<?php

$line = file("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\stats.ini");

echo "<table>
<tr><td>Player Name</td>
<td>Kills </td>
<td>Deaths </td>
<td>Points </td>
</tr>";

for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{
$name = $line[0+$i];
$name = substr($name, 9);

$kill = $line[500+$i];
$kill = substr($kill, 9);

$death = $line[1000+$i];
$death = substr($death, 10);

$points = $line[1000+$i];
$points = substr($points, 10);

echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td>
<td>".$kill."</td>
<td>".$death."</td>
<td>".$points."</td>
</tr>";

}

?>

and it displays this but the problem is it only displays the top 10 lines not the highest ranking. it does good and puts the kills,deaths,points with the name but i need it to find the highest points and just display those names. if this needs a database thats not problem i just need help getting the code. thanks guys
