I have this cod for my TOP LIST
$pos=0;
$upit = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_entries ORDER BY vote DESC");
while ($sms = mysql_fetch_array($upit)) {
$pos++;
$data = unserialize($sms['data']);
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
}
data[1] is NAME

I hope you understand me and that someone knows how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

You can use this code:
$pos=0;
$upit = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_entries ORDER BY vote DESC");
$max = mysql_num_rows($upit);
$max = $max - 2;
while ($sms = mysql_fetch_array($upit)) {
$pos++;
$data = unserialize($sms['data']);
if ($pos < 5){
// first 4 in different color. Green Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} elseif ($pos <= $max) {
//from 5th to 3rd last (left 2 from bottom) in different color. Black Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} else {
// last 2 in different color. Red Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
}
}

Answer 2

My guess is you're wanting something like this... you can then change your echo code based on how you want to format it.
$pos=0;
$upit = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_entries ORDER BY vote DESC");
while ($sms = mysql_fetch_array($upit)) {
$pos++;
$data = unserialize($sms['data']);
if ($pos < 5){
// finalist format (1-4)
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} elseif ($pos > 9) {
// format fallout users (9+)
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} else {
// format other (5-9)
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
}
}

Answer 3

Assuming first 4 in different color, from 5th to 3rd last (left 2 from bottom) in different color and last 2 in different color.
So, first find total number of row from SQL query so that we can put 2nd if condition.
$pos=0;
$upit = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_entries ORDER BY vote DESC");
$max = mysql_num_rows($upit);
$max = $max - 2;
while ($sms = mysql_fetch_array($upit)) {
$pos++;
$data = unserialize($sms['data']);
if ($pos < 5){
// first 4 in different color. Green Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} elseif ($pos <= $max) {
//from 5th to 3rd last (left 2 from bottom) in different color. Black Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
} else {
// last 2 in different color. Red Font
echo " ".$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms[vote]." ";
}
}

Answer 4

Assuming you need HTML output, here is a very crude way of doing it:
<?php
$pos = 0;
if( $upit = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM wp_entries ORDER BY vote DESC" ) )
{
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows( $upit );
if( $num_rows > 0 )
{
echo '<ul>';
while ($sms = mysql_fetch_array($upit))
{
$pos++;
$style = "";
if ($pos < 5)
{
$style = ' style="color:#00FF00;"';
}
elseif ($pos <= ($num_rows-2))
{
$style = ' style="color:#000000;"';
}
else
{
$style = ' style="color:#FF0000;"';
}
$data = unserialize($sms['data']);
echo ' <li'.$style.'>'.$pos." ".$data[1]['value']." ".$data[2]['value']." ".$sms['vote']."<li>";
}
echo '<ul>';
}
}
?>
