Show trophies on top 5% and 10% in the world for the country [Ranking System by Percent]
Working on a php game so I have a table "country_development_areas" with trophies that should appear in users country pages. Each trophy starts from "value" 0 and up. The bigger the value the bigger the rank. I have attached an image with the table bellow:
There should be 2 lines showing on user country page: - 1st line showing trophies corresponding to country that are in top 5% in the world for the "value" field. - 2nd line showing trophies corresponding to country that are in top 10% in the world for the "value" field.
Rank should be done globally by "value" compared to all countries and shows the line of trophies corresponding to the country. It should also has in the link title the corresponding rank like "Most Efficient Economies: 3,420th".
Bellow is the code I have until now, it shows the trophies but it shows all so I don't have an idea how to make them show by percent ranking.
<?php
// Get all rows from country_development_areas table
try {
$stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM country_development_areas WHERE country = :idCountry ORDER BY value DESC');
$stmt->execute(array(':idCountry' => $row_country['id']));
} catch(PDOException $e) {
$error[] = $e->getMessage();
}
?>
<div id="trophycabinet">
<?php
while($row_country_development_area = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
?>
<a class="top5percent" href="/nation=united_states_of_america/detail=trend?censusid=<?php echo $row_country_development_area['id']; ?>" title="<?php echo $row_country_development_area['title']; ?>: 3,420th">
<?php echo $row_country_development_area['icon']; ?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
</div>First for top 5% the user should see one line with trophies like in the bellow screenshot. It's what currently the script shows but only showing all trophies for the country, it doesn't take only the top 5% compared to the world since I don't know how to do it.
Secondly should be a second line like the previous that would show trophies line for top 10%.
Solution
Here is the complete code, including the rank positions. You can add as many top types as you want.
- Don't use id = 0 in id columns!
- Put no icon html in tables. Put just the icon names in the
iconcolumn, like "hand-peace-o". - For proper prepared statements + validations + exception handling see my answer (the EDIT part also, if you want to use a class).
- I used only the icon name in the
iconcolumn. - You should use my recommendation from inside the
catchblocks. Because an exception is usually an error type after which you would not want to continue any program steps, but just to display the error message on screen and exit. - Try to completely avoid using
whilestatements in your codes, in any programming language. Except maybe there, where they are... unavoidable. E.g. if they are good documented, like, for example, on the PHP documentation website for different data access functions, and are really needed, then use them. But with care, because they can result in infinite loops which can completely overload your server. - Separate the PHP data access part from the HTML part. If you need data, fetch all of it in PHP arrays and in the upper part of the PHP page. In the HTML part of the PHP page just iterate through these arrays. So, in short, don't mix PHP data access codes with HTML codes. Like: no
fetch()inside the HTML part of the PHP page.
Good luck.
PHP code:

// Get all rows from country_development_areas table

$tops = array(
