Any1 know any good php books for creating a changable online questionnaire?

[pcaines]

Hello all i am fairly new to Php and my first day on this forum.

 

What i want to do is create an online questionnaire where i can change, add questions as i please. and produce the generated  questionnaire on my website for people to fill in and record results. I would be fairly confident just to create 1 questionnaire were the questions stay the same but not how to get php to generate the questions for me. i.e does it require a radio box, text box. 

 

Does any one know of any good books out there that would have and explain a working example of what i wanted.

 

I would be most grateful of any advice and guidance from you.

Yeah i have done all that, all that seems to come up is more forums, or tutorials that don't generate new questions or software that does it for you. As i am quite new to php i was looking for a book that has a working example where i could go through it and take time to understand its contents.

 

Any suggestions

I don't know of any books that cover that and having looked online, there is a surprising lack of tutorials related to this subject.

 

What I would suggest is that you break your project down into sections and look at each part. e.g.

 

1. Creating a DB and tables

2. Select, Insert, Update and Delete queries using PHP/MySQL

3. Form manipulation using PHP

4. PHP Arrays, loops and conditional statements

5. Login scripts (for admin) using sessions

 

You should be able to find plenty of tutorials on these topics which should help you get started.
