Let's take the opportunity to do a little tutorial here.

i cant mix and match php with html

Sure you can!

The code that prints it out is

Code Select Expand


foreach ($top_posters as $poster)
{
  echo $poster['link'] , ' (', $poster['posts'] , ')<br />';
}


Right? Right there is a mix of php and html. But we're going to do a little more.

You want a table. So, the first thing you need to do is to start a table. Since you're using php, you use an echo statement:

Code Select Expand


echo '<table>';


Now we want to print out each of the top posters. We already have the loop to copy. We just need to change it so that each poster is in it's own row and the poster and number of posts are in their own cells.

Code Select Expand


foreach ($top_posters as $poster)
{
  echo '<tr><td>', $poster['link'] , '</td><td>', $poster['posts'] , '</td></tr>';
}


Then we close off the table.

Code Select Expand


echo '</table>';


Easy-peasy!! 

Putting it all together ....

Code Select Expand


echo '<table>';
foreach ($top_posters as $poster)
{
  echo '<tr><td>', $poster['link'] , '</td><td>', $poster['posts'] , '</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';



Now you'll be able to do the next one on your own!!!

I am currently using this...is there a way to add member group colors by adding say
global $sourcedir to the code? or how would I go about that currently my code is

Code Select Expand

$numberofposters = 10; // You can change this to however many you want

require_once "SSI.php";
$top_posters = ssi_topPoster($numberofposters, "return");

echo '<table>';
foreach ($top_posters as $poster)
{
  echo '<tr><td>', $poster['link'] , '</td><td>',   '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',  '</td><td>',   '</td><td>','</td><td>',$poster['posts'] , '</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

I know it isn't clean with all those '</td><td>' , if that could be cleaned up to make the name left aligned and the posts right aligned would be better...Also if there is a way to show the last posts of that user in the number of posts would be good
I guess it would be linked to
http://yoursite.com?action=profile;u=?;sa=showPosts...I dunno if this is possible....

Thanks for the help in advance,
