Re: Re: How give a 'timed' online quiz?

Hello, I did an timed online quiz using session variables for my timer. It work fine. When the user start the quiz, you check the time and calculate the duration of your quiz. exemple: 20:00 + 60 min = 21:00 So you register 2100 in a session variable Each subsequent request you make shure the current time is still below 2100 or you stop the quiz and tell user. py ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evan Nemerson" <evan@coeus-group.com> To: "Bryan "Cyngon" Helmkamp" <cyngon@remove.this.runbox.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 1:16 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: How give a 'timed' online quiz? > You can't do this and keep it tamper-proof with JavaScript/PHP.
