A screen with a question and four choices is displayed and the user has to pick up the right answer and if the answer is correct[which iam testing with the ans char(1) of the main table listed below],iam inserting that row in a mysql table which has two fields like: 1)qno int(2) 2) ans text and as soon as the test is finished iam rendering the totalcount of the correct answers that i've inserted based on the selection of the choice of the user to display his result ie; total marks obtained.this works fine for a single user but how do i tackle for multiple users?? please help me. Apart from the above table, i have yet another table which contains the following fields: 1)qno int(2) 2)question text, 3)A text 4)B text 5)C text 6)D text 7)Ans char(1) where A,B,C,D are the multiple choices.
