Hi,
This isn't a php question, more of a SQL question, but I don't know any where better 
to send it, and I guess its trival enough for someone here to answer.

Anyway, I have a list of members each with a score field. How can I say that Member 3 
is ranked 10 out of 100 members for example.

Here is the layout of the members table:
ID, Name, Score

I can get the total count of members in the table, but I don't know how to determine 
what rank they are, unless I return all the rows in the table (sorted), and cycle 
through them until I find the member I want, counting how many people are above him... 
This method would work, but would be slow (and wastful), is there a better way to 
determine his position with a SQL Query?

Thanks in advance
Andrew

P.S
If it matters I'm using MySQL & PHP 4.0.6 on WinXP under Apache 1.3.22
