Select whole row of result with the highest value - php

Question

I have a really simple question, but unfortunately I can't figure it out myself. I have a list of 12 players which all have an (unique)ID, rating, attribute1 and attribute4. I ONLY want the row of the player with the highest rating followed by attribute1 and then attribute4. So it will first have to sort on rating, if there are 2 with rating 84, SQL will check for attribute1 etc. This is my code.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `players_db` WHERE `id` = $player[0] OR `id` = $player[1] OR `id` = $player[2] OR `id` = $player[3] OR `id` = $player[4] OR `id` = $player[5] OR `id` = $player[6] OR `id` = $player[7] OR `id` = $player[8] OR `id` = $player[9] OR `id` = $player[10] OR `id` = $player[11] ORDER BY `rating` DESC , `attribute1` DESC, `attribute4` DESC";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['rating'];
echo '<br>';
}
I can't figure it out how to go further, as I already tryed
SELECT MAX('rating') FROM players_db WHERE ...
But then it only gets the rating of the highest player, so how can I get the whole row of the player with the highest rating followed by attribute1 and attribute4?
I hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

Answer 1

This query will give the record corresponding to the player with the highest rating. In the event of a tie, attribute1 and attribute4 will be used to break the tie, in that order.
SELECT *
FROM players_db
ORDER BY rating DESC, attribute1 DESC, attribute4 DESC
LIMIT 1

Answer 2

Use LIMIT , So that first it will sort the records by rating, then it will select the first row from top AS used LIMIT 1:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `players_db` WHERE `id` = $player[0] OR `id` = $player[1] OR `id` = $player[2] OR `id` = $player[3] OR `id` = $player[4] OR `id` = $player[5] OR `id` = $player[6] OR `id` = $player[7] OR `id` = $player[8] OR `id` = $player[9] OR `id` = $player[10] OR `id` = $player[11] ORDER BY `rating` DESC , `attribute1` DESC, `attribute4` DESC LIMIT 1";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['rating'];
echo '<br>';
}
