I have a simple php script where users can post without logging in, after they submit post their posts are showing just bellow in posts feed, something like facebook's post/news feed. How can I now take three most liked posts and display them in another div section? Is that possible?
index.php
<div class="comment-form-container">
<form id="frm-comment">
<div class="input-row">
<input type="hidden" name="comment_id" id="commentId"
placeholder="Name" /> <input class="input-field"
type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" />
</div>
<div class="input-row">
<textarea class="input-field" type="text" name="comment"
id="comment" placeholder="Add a Comment"> </textarea>
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" class="btn-submit" id="submitButton"
value="Publish" /><div id="comment-message">Comments Added Successfully!</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
var totalLikes = 0;
var totalUnlikes = 0;
function postReply(commentId) {
$('#commentId').val(commentId);
$("#name").focus();
}
$("#submitButton").click(function () {
$("#comment-message").css('display', 'none');
var str = $("#frm-comment").serialize();
$.ajax({
url: "comment-add.php",
data: str,
type: 'post',
success: function (response)
{
var result = eval('(' + response + ')');
if (response)
{
$("#comment-message").css('display', 'inline-block');
$("#name").val("");
$("#comment").val("");
$("#commentId").val("");
listComment();
} else
{
alert("Failed to add comments !");
return false;
}
}
});
});
$(document).ready(function () {
listComment();
});

So the posts are being displayed by most liked, but I want to take top three liked posts and display them in another div on a same page. Is this something I have to do in MySQL database or I can display it with just a code? Any help will mean a lot, I don't have a clue how to do this. And I know my code is open for SQL Injections, but I'll fix it before running it.
What I have tried:
Im kinda new to PHP, and I didnt tried much, I tried listing comments by id but it didnt worked.
