Dear All,
I have score table in which i am storing scores for online quiz
what i want is to allot rank to all candidates as per their scores
for that i applied logic that i sorted table order by net score in desc
order
and assigned variable $i++ in place rank correponding to pkey of that
row
so in this manner person who is having net score 10 would get rank 1
and so on.
but what i want is if some scorer will get same score say 5 than in
this case he should both should get rank 5 but in this point my
variable $i++ will allot different rank for same scorer viz 5 and 6 so
i want rank would remain same for same score.
Please help me urgently....
below is the test code
<? include("libFunctions.php");
connectDb();
session_start(); ?>
