Ok, yeah, you could use a database table, or continue to use the XML file, just assign a number to it based off line number raised by the power of two.

PHP Code:

pow(2, $lineNumber); 


As you said that you don't want to use the XML file any more, then just use a database table, and on each result do the same thing with the pow function to show them what the value needs to be.

PHP Code:

<?php

$sql = new mysqli(
    'localhost',
    'username',
    'password',
    'database'
);

if ($result = $sql->query($query)) {
    $i = 1;
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        printf ("%d, %s\n", pow(2, $i++), $row['level']);
    }
    $result->close();
}

$sql->close();

?>

Something like that ...
