php multiple choice quiz

Recommended Posts

???

Thought I would ask some very basic questions:

 

a) Is there a free reputable php generator available online?  I tried one and promptly became infected with a virus, which I dealt with quickly.

 

b) I need to build a multiple choice quiz site that:

 

allows you to create, update and delete records

allows you to retrieve records via forms

allows users to register

allows users to keep track of their performance

 

I recently built two sites that track your class schedule and track your book collection. I have some experience, but am overwhelmed and stressed out about a final project due in a couple of weeks.

 

Currently I am going through a server at my university and connecting with mysql.  My code is basically php with snippets of html as well to create the forms.

 

I do not want to reinvent the wheel.

 

Does anyone out there have just a minute to recommend a good place to start?

 

I appreciate any assistance you can render.

 

Sincerely,

 

A non-trad student trying to make it as a geek.

Doubtful.  I wouldn't recommend one anyway.  Most generators and wizards and whatnot generate awful code.  And that's if they're not malware to begin with.

What kind of records, and who needs to be generating/retrieving them?

 

allows users to register

 

Easy enough to do.

 

allows users to keep track of their performance

 

Slightly harder, depending on how in-depth this performance tracking needs to be.

How were the other sites you made structured?  Can you lift parts/ideas from them to incorporate in your quiz site?  If you already have a login system, building a registration system off of that won't be difficult.

 

As for the rest, have you tried using Google to find free tutorials?  There are a ton of user registration tutorials and general PHP/MySQL/database normalization tutorials out there.  I'd start with those.

One I can customize would be great.  However, the only version I have ever worked with is 6.0.  I have found what I want, written in php 4.0.  However, I can't find a converter/editor that will make the conversion to 6.0.

 

I don't feel experieced enough to make this conversion myself.

 

Meanwhile I am attempting this from scratch, but I am afraid of the end of result.  I lack confidence, I guess.

 

Gotta go!  Thanks again for your earlier response.

 

Try

http://www.surveymonkey.com/

 

You can design your own area for free. If you need one you can customize, I have a few versions that I have used before.

 

I switched to surveymonkey because once you have an account it is streamlined.
