Question

I have a data set from mysql in a multidimensional array.

I am using a pagination script to show 10 per page of that array. I want to know how to append a number to each one like a scoring system. The array is sorted by the way that it will aways be so i want to to add a 1 to the first item, a 2 to the second item and so on.

I dont want to do this in the foreach that i output since this will not translate over to the second page where it would start back at 1.

Any ideas on how to attach a number in desc order to each item in the array so i can access it in the foreach and display it?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I figured it out by doing some calculations based on which page i was on and the page count that was set and finding the size of the array from the db:

$all_members = get_users_ordered_by_meta('metavalue', 'desc'); 
$array_count = count($all_members);
$posts_per_page = get_option('posts_per_page');

if ($page > 0) {
    $total_posts_avalible = ($posts_per_page * $page);
    $usernum = $total_posts_avalible - $posts_per_page;
}

Then i echo the $usernum in the foreach next to the name of the user.

foreach() {
    $usernum++; 
    echo $usernum; echo $user_name;
}
