Re: Create Online Test Program

Devin, I did a 10 question quiz for a local museum which involved using radio buttons and automatic advance to the next question. At the end I summed the correct answers and gave a score. I've wanted to shorten the whole thing and use a mysql table, but... The following snip should give you a bit of knowledge on how to (or not to) do an online quiz. The quiz is located at http://www.museumoflocalhistory.org/pages/quiz.php Hope this helps, Hugh //snip <html> <head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function go(loc) { window.location.href = loc; } </script> </head> <body> <?php if (!isset($quest)) { print "<h3>10 Questions to Challenge<br>your knowledge of Washington Township</h3>"; print "<br><h5><b><a href=quiz.php?quest=1>Take the Quiz!</a></b></h5><br>"; print "<br><table align=center cellpadding=10><tr><td><img src=./postcard/pc1.jpg></td></tr></table>"; } // question 1 if ($quest=="1") { if (!isset($ans)) { $var=1; print "<form name=form>"; print "<h3>Question #$var</h3>"; print "<br>"; print "<h6>The City of Fremont was formed from the communities of Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, and Warm Springs.</h6><br>"; print "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"loc\" onClick=\"go('quiz.php?quest=$quest&ans=1&var=$var&correct=$correct');\"> True<br>"; print "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"loc\" onClick=\"go('quiz.php?quest=$quest&ans=0&var=$var&correct=$correct');\"> False<br>"; print "</form>"; print "<br><table align=center cellpadding=10><tr><td><img src=./postcard/pc2.jpg></td></tr></table>"; } if (isset($ans)) { if ($ans=="1") { $correct=$correct+1; unset($ans); print "<h3>You are correct!</h3><br><h4>Fremont was formed by the incorporation of the 5 towns.</h4>"; } if ($ans=="0") { $correct=$correct+0; unset($ans); print "<h3>Sorry, the statement was true.</h3><br><h4>Fremont was formed by the incorporation of the 5 towns.</h4>"; } print "<br><h5><b><a href=quiz.php?quest=".($var+1)."&correct=$correct>Go to Question #".($var+1)."</a></b></h5><br>"; print "<br><table align=center cellpadding=10><tr><td><img src=./postcard/pc2.jpg></td></tr></table>"; } } //end snip ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devin Atencio" <dreamboy@aros.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 2:47 PM Subject: [PHP] Create Online Test Program > > Dear PHP Users, > > I am in the process of trying to create an Online Program that will > give questions and possible answers then score the test.
