$output .= "</ul>\n";

echo $output;

 

I pretty much just changed all the $score and $value to percent

 

here is how it was originally.

 

function showLeaders($file,$limit,$group = null) {
    $leaders = array();
   

    $xml = simplexml_load_file($file);
    foreach($xml->user as $user) {
        $name = (string)$user->name;
        $score = (string)$user->score;
        $leaders[$name] = $score;
    }
       

    arsort($leaders,SORT_NUMERIC);
    
    
    $counter = 1;
    
    
    $output = "<ul class=\"leaders\">\n";
    

    foreach ($leaders as $key => $value) {
       
        if ($counter <= $limit) {
            if ($key == $_SESSION['user']) {
                $output .= "<li><strong>$key:</strong> $value/20</li>\n";
            } else {
                $output .= "<li>$key: $value/20</li>\n";
            }
       
            if ($group) {
                // Use the modulus operator(%) to create new sub-list.
                if($counter % $group == 0) {
                    $output .= "</ul>\n<ul class=\"leaders\">\n";
                }
            }
        }
    
    $counter++;
    }
    
    $output .= "</ul>\n";
    
    
    echo $output;
}

I think I may see the problem. Or at least A problem:

 

foreach ($leaders as $key => $percent) { //---changed $score to percent

	// Check that $counter is less than $limit.
	if ($counter <= $limit) {
		if ($key == $_SESSION['user']) {
			$output .= "<li><strong>$key:</strong> $percent%</li>\n"; //--changed $value to $percent
		} else {
			$output .= "<li>$key: $percent%</li>\n"; //--- again $value to $percent
		}

		if ($group) {
			// Use the modulus operator(%) to create new sub-list.
			if($counter % $group == 0) {
				$output .= "</ul>\n<ul class=\"leaders\">\n";
			}
		}
	}

	$counter++;
}

 

You should have left most of this alone. It should read something like:

foreach ($leaders as $key => $value) {
       
        if ($counter <= $limit) {
            if ($key == $_SESSION['user']) {
                $output .= "<li><strong>$key:</strong> $value \%</li>\n";
            } else {
                $output .= "<li>$key: $value \%</li>\n";
            }
       
            if ($group) {
                // Use the modulus operator(%) to create new sub-list.
                if($counter % $group == 0) {
                    $output .= "</ul>\n<ul class=\"leaders\">\n";
                }
            }
        }
    
    	$counter++;
    }

Because it is calling forth an array:

$leaders = array();

 

You have already changed the score variable to percent.

foreach($xml->user as $user) {
	$name = (string)$user->name;
	$percent = (string)$user->score; //---Changed $score to percent
	$leaders[$name] = $percent; //---again $score to percent
}

 

But, the big question here is: Where are you getting this variable

$percent = (string)$user->score; //<--- this $user->score here

 

We find where that is being set and we can find what is going on with your percentages.

Find the code that is setting that variable.
