It's easy as hell so it's not worth to put in release section.
You can also change it to any item ranking.

It's only remaded player ranking.
PHP:
<?php
// table style
DEFINE("STYLE", "font: 12px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; color: black; text-align; center;");
  $config = array(
    'db_username' => '', // database username
    'db_password' => '',   // database password
    'db_dsn'      => '',   // system DSN to the database
    'debug'       => false,
);



        $conn = odbc_connect($config['db_dsn'],
                             $config['db_username'],
                             $config['db_password']);
  
  $top = 1;
  $plist = "SELECT TOP 100 Player.Name, Player.Level, Player.Specialty, Item.Num, Player.Class
	FROM Player
	LEFT JOIN Item
	ON Player.PID=Item.PID
        WHERE
            [Index] = 31 
        ORDER BY
            Item.Num DESC";
  $pplist = odbc_exec($conn,$plist);
  
    echo '<br><br><br>';
    echo '<center><table width="400px" style="STYLE">';
	echo '<tr style="text-align: center">
	<td width="100px"><b>Rank</b></td>
	<td width="100px"><b>Name</b></td>
	<td width="100px"><b>Gold</b></td></tr>';

	while($r = odbc_fetch_array($pplist)){
		echo '<tr style="text-align: center"><td>'.$top.'</td><td>'.$r['Name'].'</td><td>'.$r['Num'].'</td></tr>';
		$top++;
	}
	
	echo '</table>';

?>

First of all, I have noticed that this is not exactly the best way to go about doing... anything, So I propose a simple few corrections:

at the top of your code, inside your <head> element, you can set the CSS to style objects rather than defining it within the PHP itself.
Code:
<style type="text/css">
#rank
{
    position:absolute;
    font-family: Sans-serif, Geneva, Veranda;
    font-size: 12px;
    color:#000;
    text-align:center;
    width:400px;
    left:50%;
    bottom:50%;
}

#rank > tr
{
    text-align: center;
}

#rank > tr > td
{
    width:100px;
}
</style>

This not only corrects the errors in the original post, but speeds up the rest of the submission, as PHP will not need to define another object that it does not need to

PHP:
<?php 
  $config = array( 
    'db_username' => 'Username\SQLEXPRESS',
    'db_password' => 'Database password',
    'db_dsn'      => 'DSN for database as defined in ODBC',
    'debug'       => false, 
); 

        $conn = odbc_connect($config['db_dsn'], 
                             $config['db_username'], 
                             $config['db_password']); 
   
  $top = 1; 
  $plist = "SELECT TOP 100 Player.Name, Player.Level, Player.Specialty, Item.Num, Player.Class 
    FROM Player 
    LEFT JOIN Item 
    ON Player.PID=Item.PID 
        WHERE 
            [Index] = 31  
        ORDER BY 
            Item.Num DESC"; 
  $pplist = odbc_exec($conn,$plist); 
?>

After this, again, PHP was echoing HTML, this isn't always considered "Good Practice" and can really annoy the more hardcore developers of the language.
Code:
<br /><br /><br />
<table id="rank">
    <tr> 
        <td><strong>Rank</strong></td> 
        <td><strong>Name</strong></td> 
        <td><strong>Gold</strong></td>
    </tr>

PHP:
<?php
    while($r = odbc_fetch_array($pplist))
    { 
        echo '<tr><td>'.$top.'</td><td>'.$r['Name'].'</td><td>'.$r['Num'].'</td></tr>'; 
        $top++; 
    } 
?>
and to finish:
Code:
    </table>

Now, hopefully I have not messed it completely up, the PHP was left nearly the same throughout, as was the SQL. I merely modified the CSS to increase processing speed and to make the PHP script less of a mess.
