mickym25 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 hi guys, I have a question regarding site design. I am making a site for a teacher friend of mine which requires being able to create/display quizs on different topics. At the moment I am using a flash quiz template which uses an xml file to store its questions,etc which i will imbed in a php file. the quiz template is about 100kb. Anyway, im just wondering which way i should go about creating/storing new quizzes, e.g. use one page with a database to get the specifics on the quiz, e.g. quiz.php?topic=math or create a new directory for each quiz, copying the quiz template into each, e.g www.mysite.com/subjects/math/ just wondering about performance,scalability,etc, any suggestions/help much appreciated!
