Ranking System

After looking thru just about every hack the only hack that I found that was close to what I wanted was the Galaga hack by TommyBoy.... and its obvious even to me that the code is pretty old...
What I want it to do, is display a picture according to how many posts the person has... But I dont think I'm calling the right data or something...

I have this after the global things in "buildpostbit"

// --- vB Galaga Hack by TommyBoy Modified by DeadMan384AD
$RankNum = $bbuserinfo[posts];
$rank = "";
while ($RankNum > 1) {

	if ($RankNum > 5) {
		$rank = "<img src=\"images/ranks/2.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 5;
	}
	elseif ($RankNum > 10) {
		$rank = "<img src=\"images/ranks/3.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 10;
	}
	elseif ($RankNum > 50) {
		$rank =  "<img src=\"images/ranks/4.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 50;
	}
	elseif ($RankNum > 100) {
		$rank = "<img src=\"images/ranks/5.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 100;
	}
	elseif ($RankNum > 500) {
		$rank = "<img src=\"images/ranks/6.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 500;
	}
	elseif ($RankNum > 1000) {
		$rank = "<img src=\"images/ranks/7.jpg\" border=0>";
		$RankNum -= 1000;
	}
	else {
		$rank = $RankNum;
		$RankNum--;
	}
}
$rank = $rank;

Right now in the else statement I have it showing $RankNum for debug... cause it just shows the image for else, when I should be seeing image 6 in my posts... but for the debug, all I get is "2" for any user....
I've tried it taking $RankNum from $post[posts] as well, same output...

And in the final version, I want this to be using 34 different ranking levels...

Excellent! Thank you!

Now, should I post this as a completed hack?
Thing is it no longer looks anything like the galaga hack, and you helped a lot... so its not mine so much...
