This is one of those questions where asking in a clear way is more difficult than the actual coding I guess, hahaha. Thanks for bearing with me everyone. Each question has a total of 5 points available. There are also 5 hints to be available for each question. Each hint viewing would deduct one point from the total. For example, if the user clicks one hint, they lost one point, and have a total of 4 left. If they use their one hint and answer the question correctly, they have earned 4 points. If they view 5 hints, they lose all their points. I have already figured out how to score incorrect or correct answers. I am just having trouble with figuring out how to display scores based on the pages that a user accesses. I have forms configured where the user is asked whether they want to view a particular hint. I am pretty sure that there is a way to tabulate how many submissions of 'yes' a user sends, and therefore be able to calculate the score deductions based on views. I do not need to store the scores at all. The scores just need to be calculated and displayed for the user. Another thought... Could I create one main page with 5 questions, all using html/php forms? Each question would ask whether the user wanted to view a particular hint. With the right code, couldn't I total how many yes answers I got, and deduct from 5 based on that? Again, thanks for all the help.
