variable which needs a fix - php

Question

I was trying to echo a variable before it was even defined so literally i'm getting this error "UNDEFINED VARIABLE: tpp"
<tr>
<td colspan='6'>
<h4><small>Trusted Players List <?php echo $tpp ?> Total)</small></h4>
</td>
</tr>
When i set that line down along with echo "" , it works. But i want it on the place where i set it [Top]
Here is the code which i need help with
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<td colspan='6'>
<h4><small>Trusted Players List <?php echo $tpp ?> Total)</small></h4>
</td>
</tr>
<td>Number</td>
<td>Username</td>
<td>Last Login</td>
</thead>
<?php
$query = $koneksi->prepare("SELECT `user`, `TP`, `LastOnlineDate` FROM `playerdata` WHERE `banned`=0 AND `TP`=1");
$query->execute();
if($query->rowCount() == 0)
{
echo "<tr><td colspan='6'><small>No rows found</small></td></tr>";
}
$tpp = 0;
while($data = $query->fetch())
{
$tpp++;
echo "<tr><td>".$tpp."</td>";
echo "<td>".$data['user']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$data['LastOnlineDate']."</td></tr>";
}
?>
</table>
Any help will be so appreciated
thanks in advance.

$tpp is undefined because its being called before its been created, Try this out instead.
<?php
$tpp = 0;
$content = "";
$query = $koneksi->prepare("SELECT `user`, `TP`, `LastOnlineDate` FROM `playerdata` WHERE `banned`=0 AND `TP`=1");
$query->execute();
while($data = $query->fetch())
{
$tpp++;
$content .= "<tr><td>".$tpp."</td>";
$content .= "<td>".$data['user']."</td>";
$content .= "<td>".$data['LastOnlineDate']."</td></tr>";
}
?>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<td colspan='6'><h4><small>Trusted Players List <?php echo $tpp ?> Total)</small></h4></td>
</tr>
<td>Number</td>
<td>Username</td>
<td>Last Login</td>
</thead>
<?php
if($query->rowCount() == 0)
{
echo "<tr><td colspan='6'><small>No rows found</small></td></tr>";
}
echo $content;
?>
</table>
I've decided to run the loop at the top, placing all the data within $content and then echo $content where you wish to display the content. This allows you to still have your counter run and be displayed at the top of the table.
