perhaps $rank does not meet any of the criteria for which you are tesing. here's a somewhat cleaner way of doing the same thing:

<?
$rank = 635; // just for testing

$rank_array = array(
	1 => '50|100',
	2 => '101|170', 
	3 => '171|280',
	4 => '281|450',
	5 => '451|630',
	6 => '631|815',
	7 => '816|1003',
	8 => '1004|1200',
	9 => '1201|1398',
	10 => '1399|1600',
	11 => '1601|1860'
);


$showrank = 'none';
foreach ($rank_array as $key => $value)
{
	$exolode = explode('|', $value);
	if ($rank >= $exolode[0] && $rank <= $exolode[1]) {$showrank = $key;}
}

echo 'the rank of ' . $rank . ' is ' .  $showrank; // outputs 6
?>

Of course, almost half of the data in that array (and the code to extract it) is entirely redundant. If you've already verified that an integer is greater than fifty, you don't need to check again to see if it's at least fifty-one.

$rank = 97;

$rank_array = array(
	'50'=>-1, // Rank0? Not high enough to rank
	'101'=>'Rank1',
	'171'=>'Rank2',
	'281'=>'Rank3',
	'451'=>'Rank4',
	'631'=>'Rank5',
	'816'=>'Rank6',
	'1004'=>'Rank7',
	'1201'=>'Rank8',
	'1399'=>'Rank9',
	'1601'=>'Rank10',
	'1801'=>'Rank11');

$this_ranking = -1; // Rank0? No ranking yet

foreach($rank_array as $threshold=>$ranking)
{
    if($rank<$threshold)
    {
        $this_ranking = $ranking;
        break;
    }
}

echo $this_ranking;

The above code also sets $this_ranking to a distinctive value in the cases (<50 or >1800) which aren't covered by the supplied ranking information.
