Im working on a confession website, and on the website I have a section "Top of the Week" which displays 3 most liked confessions from current week, it displays them in a horizontal slider by most liked order, so it goes most liked, second most liked, third most liked confession. The thing that Im trying to do is to put #1, #2, #3 number on each one, but I can't achieve that because I only style one div and website automatically create two other and add confession to it.
This is my php + html code that I use to display them:
<div class="sidebox">
<?php
$select = "SELECT confessions.confessId,
(IFNULL(confessions.firstName, '')) AS firstName,
confessions.confessText,
DATE_FORMAT(confessions.postDate,'%b %d %Y %h:%i %p') AS postDate,
hasImage,
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(confessions.postDate) AS orderDate,
confessions.isActive,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM views WHERE views.confessId = confessions.confessId ) as totalViews,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM likes WHERE likes.confessId = confessions.confessId ) as totalLikes,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dislikes WHERE dislikes.confessId = confessions.confessId ) as totalDislikes
FROM
confessions
WHERE isActive = 1
ORDER BY totalViews DESC , orderDate DESC limit 3";
$resss = mysqli_query($mysqli, $select) or die('-3' . mysqli_error()); ?>

<div class="clearfix"></div>

<?php
}
?>
</div>
I tried everything and this is the best solution that I have, but I can't figure out what should I put inside if, elseif, else, I need something that will place #1 on first, #2 on second, #3 on third confession. So I would need something like this but something that will not require me to manually insert > likes.
<?php if ($row['totalLikes'] > '11') { echo "#1"; } elseif ($row['totalLikes'] > '5') { echo "#2"; } else { echo "#3"; }?>
Please visit my website, its still in development, but check Top of the Week on the right and you'll have a clue of what I actually want: http://confessions.byethost31.com
FINAL:
<?php $i = 1; ?>
<?php
echo '#'.$i;
$i++;
?>
