PHP Leaderboard add (t) for ties - php

Question

I have a php leaderboard and it works great, and works well with ties. Currently it will number users from 1st to last place (whichever # that is), and if there are ties, it lists them all out with the same number.
For example:
userC 2. userG 3. userA 3. userT 3. userJ 4. userW 5. userP
What I would like is for when there are ties, for the leaderboard to display a "(t)" next to the number, like so: (t) 3. userT
Here is my code, any help is appreciated:
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="table1" width="100%"><caption>
<h2>Leaderboard</h2>
</caption>
<tr><th align="left">Player</th><th align="left">Wins</th><th>Pick Ratio</th></tr>
<?php
if (isset($playerTotals)) {
$playerTotals = sort2d($playerTotals, 'score', 'desc');
$i = 1;
$tmpScore = 0;
//show place #
foreach($playerTotals as $playerID => $stats) {
if ($tmpScore < $stats[score]) $tmpScore = $stats[score];
//if next lowest score is reached, increase counter
if ($stats[score] < $tmpScore ) $i++;
$pickRatio = $stats[score] . '/' . $possibleScoreTotal;
$pickPercentage = number_format((($stats[score] / $possibleScoreTotal) * 100), 2) . '%';
//display users/stats
$rowclass = ((($i - 1) % 2 == 0) ? ' class="altrow"' : '');
echo ' <tr' . $rowclass . '><td style="height: 25px;"><b>' . $i . '</b>. ' . $stats[userName] . '</td><td align="center">' . $stats[wins] . '</td><td align="center">' . $pickRatio . ' (' . $pickPercentage . ')</td></tr>';
$tmpScore = $stats[score];
}
}
echo ' </div>' . "\n";
?>
</table>

Try this code... hope it will resolve your issue
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="table1" width="100%">
<caption><h2>Leaderboard</h2></caption>
<tr><th align="left">Player</th><th align="left">Wins</th><th>Pick Ratio</th></tr>
<?php
if (isset($playerTotals)) {
$playerTotals = sort2d($playerTotals, 'score', 'desc');
$j = 1;
$tmpScore = 0;
//show place #
$tieflag=false;
for($i=0; $i<=count($playerTotals)-1; $i++) {
if(($i<count($playerTotals) && $playerTotals[$i][score]==$playerTotals[$i+1][score]) || ($i>0 && $playerTotals[$i][score]==$playerTotals[$i-1][score])) $tieflag=true;
$pickRatio = $$playerTotals[$i][score] . '/' . $possibleScoreTotal;
$pickPercentage = number_format((($playerTotals[$i][score] / $possibleScoreTotal) * 100), 2) . '%';
$rowclass = ((($j - 1) % 2 == 0) ? ' class="altrow"' : '');
echo ' <tr' . $rowclass . '><td style="height: 25px;"><b>' . ($tieflag?'(t)'.$j:$j) . '</b>. ' . $playerTotals[$i][userName] . '</td><td align="center">' . $playerTotals[$i][wins] . '</td><td align="center">' . $pickRatio . ' (' . $pickPercentage . ')</td></tr>';
$j++;
}
}
echo '</div>'. "\n";
?>
</table>

I'd create a new variable $placeholder. So:
if ( $i != 0 ) {
if ($tmpScore < $stats[score]) {
$tmpScore = $stats[score];
}
if ( $tmpScore == $stats[score] ) {
$placeholder = $i.'(t)';
} else if ($stats[score] < $tmpScore )
$placeholder = $++i;
}
} else {
$placeholder = $++i;
$firstScore = $stats[score];
$tmpScore = $stats[score];
}
Then instead of printing $i print $placeholder
so for the first time through you could do this in the echo:
//It makes more sense if you read it from bottom to top but I put it this way
//so you will not have to keep running through every condition when you will
//only evaluate the first condition most often
if ( $i != 0 && $i != 1 ) {
echo ;//Your normal print
} else if ( $i = 1 && $tmpScore != $firstScore ) {
echo '<b>'; //and the rest of the first line plus second line NOT a tie
} else if ( $i = 1 ) {
echo ' (t)'; //Plus the rest of your first line plus second line TIE
} else {
//This is your first time through the loop and you don't know if it's a tie yet so just
//Print placeholder and then wait to figure out the rest
echo ' <tr' . $rowclass . '><td style="height: 25px;"><b>' . $placeholder;
}
