MySQL Table Correlation - php

Question

I'm kinda a noob so I don't know if this is actually possible.
I have two field in my MySQL database that I want to correlate:
Level int(11)
Rank enum('Hobo','Shippai','NoLifer',Troublemaker','gangster') (and so it continues.)
I want so that level 1=Hobo, level 2=Shippai etc. etc.
Currently it looks like this:
Level: {$ir['level']}
And want it to look like this on the website:
Rank: Hobo
Thanks in advance for any help...
Edit:
Here's the code for the table:
";
$exp=(int)($ir['exp']/$ir['exp_needed']*100);
print "
Name: {$ir['username']}Crystals: {$cm}
Level: {$ir['level']}
Exp: {$exp}%
Money: $fm
Gang: ";
$qs=$db->query("SELECT * FROM gangs WHERE gangID={$ir['gang']}");
$rs=$db->fetch_row($qs);
if(!$db->num_rows($qs) )
{
print "No Gang";
}
else
{
print" {$rs['gangNAME']} ";
}
print "
Property: {$ir['hNAME']}
Days Old: {$ir['daysold']}
Health: {$ir['hp']}/{$ir['maxhp']}
Energy: {$ir['energy']}/{$ir['maxenergy']}
Brave: {$ir['brave']}/{$ir['maxbrave']}
Will: {$ir['will']}/{$ir['maxwill']}
";

Answer 1

Create a new table called rank_define inside have, id(int, primary key, auto increment), name(char20), add your named ranks so it looks like this:
id | name
1 | Hobo
2 | Shippai
In your code
$user_id = 1; // or whatever the users rank is
$query = mysql_query("SELECT `name` FROM rank_define WHERE id='$user_id'");
This will return a result set so you will want to do:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "rank: " . $row['name']; // will output rank: Hobo
}
I think this is what you mean, is it for a user account or something different? This is assuming no account and you are just searching for a result.
If it were to be part of a user account system you would want a table for users eg: id (auto inc, primary key, int), name, rank, (etc..)
In rank their rank is inserted from the rank_define table, so 1 = hobo, 2 = shippai etc. Then you would query that table
Updated answer:
Okay so you have the while loop.while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query, MYSQL_NUM)) {.
It will go something like this:
<table>
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Name: " . $row['name'] . "</td>"; // will output their name / account whatever
echo "<td>Rank: " . $row['rank'] . "</td>"; // will output their rank
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
