function getTop5(array $data, $high2low = true)
{
    $total = array();

    foreach ($data as $val)
        $total[$val["id"]] = $val["total"];

    asort($total);
    return $high2low ? array_reverse($total) : $total;
}

$data = array(
        array("id" => 1, "total" => 25),
        array("id" => 2, "total" => 32),
        array("id" => 3, "total" => 21),
        array("id" => 4, "total" => 28)
        );

print_r(getTop5($data));

Try using php's usort function to sort your array:

function cmp($a, $b)
{
    if ($a['total'] == $b['total'])
        return 0;

    return ($a['total'] > $b['total']) ? -1 : 1;
}

usort($yourarray, "cmp");

if (count($yourarray) > 5)
    $sortedArray = array_slice($yourarray, 0, 5);
else
    $sortedArray = $yourarray;

You will end up with an array with the 5 elements with the highest score. If there are less than 5 elements in your input array, you end up with as many elements as there are in your input array.
