Adding a counter for template conditionals

[neverstop]

Revisting an old thread here, and I will try and reword it better as my needs have changed slightly.

Basically I have some code outputs a list of users based on the column 'credits' in the 'user' table, ie:

PHP Code:

    ORDER BY credits DESC
    LIMIT 5 


I want to add numbers to the list of usernames:

1. exampleuserA
2. exampleuserB
3. exampleuserC


So I can add some sort of variable to my template like $user[count]. I want to be able to user conditionals like <if condition="$user[count] == 1 <span class="bigusername">exampleuserA</span></if>

I hope it makes more sense now.

PHP Code:

<?php
