Thanks for testing the script. Can you please confirm that there was no issue with the script on your computer? and that this part was used: if(isset($_POST['questions']) && isset($_POST['choice'])){ $q = $_POST['questions']; $c = $_POST['choice']; foreach($q AS $v){ echo $v . "<br/>\n"; foreach($c AS $value){ echo " " . $value . "<br/>\n"; } } }else{ echo 'not set'; } As that is the part that is outputting the repeated code. (The idea of the above is to show the user what they have input and place it into a database).

I am creating a quiz builder as part of an exercise. It allows the user to make a multiple choice quiz. They will be able to add a title, choose the number of questions they want and how many options they want for each question by inputting the values into a html form (all questions will have the same number of options). The code I have made for this is: <form method="post" action="quiz_form.php"> Quiz name<br/><input type="text" name="name" value="" maxlength="" /><br/> Choices<br/><input type="text" name="choices" value="" maxlength="3" /><br/> Questions<br/><input type="text" name="questions" value="" maxlength="3" /><br/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" /> </form> The next part of the quiz maker is to generate the html for the quiz and allow the user to input their questions in to that HTML. The code I have made for this is: if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {//form submitted $errors = array(); if (isset($_POST['choices'])) {//Number of choices per question if (is_numeric($_POST['choices'])) {//it is a number if (strlen($_POST['choices']) <= 3) {//there are no more than three charaters $choices = $_POST['choices']; } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>CHOICES: </b>You may only go upto 999 questions"; } } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>CHOICES: </b>Must be a number"; } } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>CHOICES: </b>Select number of choices"; } if (!empty($_POST['name'])) {//quiz name added $quizname = $_POST['name']; } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>Quiz name: </b>Add quiz name"; } if (isset($_POST['questions'])) {//number of questions specified if (is_numeric($_POST['questions'])) {//it is a number if (strlen($_POST['questions']) <= 3) {//there are no more than three charaters $questions = $_POST['questions']; } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>QUESTIONS: </b>You may only go upto 999 questions"; } } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>QUESTIONS: </b>Must be a number"; } } else {//add to errors array $errors[] = "<b>QUESTIONS: </b>Select the number of questions"; } if (empty($errors)) {//display choices if(isset($questions) && isset($choices)){//choices and question number selected echo "<h1>Change the values in each box</h1>\n";//headline echo "Quiz title: " . $quizname; //users quiz title echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"addToDb.php\">\n";//start form for($q = 1; $q <= $questions; $q++){//loop through number of questions required echo " <input name='questions[]' type='text' value='question $q' /><br/>\n"; for($opt = 1; $opt <= $choices; $opt++){//loop through number of options required echo " <input name='choice[]' type='text' value='option $opt' /><br/>\n"; } } echo " <input name='submit' type='submit' value='SUBMIT' />\n";//submit form echo "</form>";//close form } } else {//echo errors foreach ($errors AS $v) { echo $v . "<br/>"; } } } else {//end $_POST['submit'] echo "fill out form"; } Finally I am trying to show what the user has created (This is where my first problem arises!). The code I have made for this is: if(isset($_POST['questions']) && isset($_POST['choice'])){ $q = $_POST['questions']; $c = $_POST['choice']; foreach($q AS $v){ echo $v . "<br/>\n"; foreach($c AS $value){ echo " " . $value . "<br/>\n"; } } }else{ echo 'not set'; } When I run the above program I get a problem at the final stage. That problem is that the options do not seem to be linked to the questions i.e. What I expect (Assuming 2 questions and 2 options are chosen): question 1 option 1 option 2 question 2 option 1 option 2 What I get (Assuming 2 questions and 2 options are chosen): question 1 option 1 option 2 option 1 option 2 question 2 option 1 option 2 option 1 option 2 a previous answer has suggested using the count() function and I have tried putting that advice into practice, but cant without success. I have considered using sessions, but I am sure that sessions would not be the right way to go. I assume that the loop is not linking the questions and choices array together for some reason and need to work out a way to get the code to link the two in order to get the output I expect. Please can someone tell me what I am missing. PS I know there are security problems at the moment, and will address them once I can complete the basics of this task.
