Creating a block where people see top 10 players of a game server

Hello, i am very new into this business. Just installed geeklog today. Seems nice to me, so i want to use it for a game server i have.

I have a trackmania nations server running.

I want a block in my page that displays the top 10 players of my server.

I have created the function and the php block.

I used the following code in my lib_custom.php:

Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_showplayers()
        {
       
        $sql1 = 'SELECT * FROM `tmos_players` WHERE rank < 11 ORDER by rank ASC';

        $result1 = mysql_query($sql1);
        $retval .= ("<TABLE>");
        $retval .= "<tr>";
        $retval .= ("<td>player</td>");
        $retval .= ("<td>score</td>");
        $retval .= ("<td>rank</td>");
        $retval .= ("</tr>");
        while ($Rij = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
        $retval .= "<tr>";
        $retval .= ("<td> $Rij[player] </td>n");
        $retval .= ("<td> $Rij[score] </td>n");
        $retval .= ("<td> $Rij[rank] </td>n");
        $retval .= ("</tr>n");
        }
        $retval .= ("</TABLE>");
       
        return $retval;
}

 


With that code i get the following error: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource.

I have read somewhere about etting an @ infront of mysql_fetch_array(), that removed the error, but didnt show the players.

Can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong and possibly explain me how to do it right?

Thank you very much.

Greetings
Robin

You are passing $result to fetch but you are creating the statement and returning it to $result1.
