hey!
this is my first solo php project and i thought i may as well make something useful to use for my classes ^_^

i want to make a php script that will tally the scores of 6 assignments
from each student then average them (one student at a time),
ive got the html form submitting to the php doc with the averaging working so far.

the tricky part is to show the top 3 students as it goes along.
(shows the currently entered students score then shows the top 3 so far)

???

ill try to make it clearer, because even im confused lol.

i want to enter 6 numbers and it gives an average.

Do this 6 times.

Get the list of the top 3 averages as it goes along (displays the latest average and shows the top 3 so far)

i want to be able to input my assignments (6 per class) and get the average for that class, for my 6 classes (each class comprising of 6 assignments on their own form) and end up with the best 3 classes on each page after data entry of the assignments and the average for the class.
