Hi there,

I'm so Interested to Learn about PHP and MySQL, and recently I have learnt about form and data processing with PHP Scripting.
I know how to extract and post data entered into an input field in any form, and then let PHP process the data to be displayed on the Web Page.

Actually, I'm talking about Creating and Managing an Online Quiz.
Usually, in an Online Quiz, there are several choices/options for one question at a time, where they can be radio buttons, checkboxes, or a drop-down menu.
So, when any of these buttons checked/selected, the data can be processed, extracted, and posted into a Web Page, right?
I know how to do that, but how about displaying points/marks according to the data entered - in an Online Quiz?

Let's say that a question have three selections which are categorized into i,ii, and iii using radio buttons.
Points for i is 2, ii is 3, and iii is 0.
So that, how can I make PHP process that points and display them for each questions respectively?
And how can I sum up all of the points in that quiz, and also let it being displayed on a Web Page?

Can all of these be done in a single [.php] file without the include/require statement?
And by the way, I'm asking about processing form data using PHP without MySQL... if it's possible.
So, that's why I asked so.

Also, is JavaScript[ <script...> </script> ] needed to do these process?... How?...

Thanks!

Hi,

My assumption you gonna display one question perpage.

You can have a hidden textboxt to carry the total mark on every question page. When the user select the answer and click next question the form will send the total mark value to the next page. Then, on the next page you can calculate the mark.

total_mark = total_mark + radio_button_value

All of these you can do in one page if that what you want. All of the question and answer selection you can just put it in array. But i recommend you split the file which process the questions and the file store the questions. Much more easier and clean to manage

Okay, thankx...
But your explanation is so high-tech...
I am so new to PHP Scripting...
And I hate to learn those Arrays...
Anyway, thanks again...

[ I think I need to learn more on PHP... this year...:-) ]
