Recommended Posts

Hi again !

Thanks for helping me with my previous issues.

Problem: from html form im getting users responses ie name="q1[]". Then in array.php file I want to read this answers and compare them with result from database. Simple but how can I compare two arrays: one from S_SESSION containing answers q1,q2,q3 and sql result from database?

If someone could help me that would be great!

 

Thanks

 

Below are snippets of my scripts:

---html form

<?php 
session_start();

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Take the Coolness Quiz!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>English Test</h1>
<h2>Please choose correct answer.</h2>

<form action="array.php" method="post">

<b>Question 1: How old ... you?</b><br>
<input type="radio" name="q1[]" value="is">is<br>
<input type="radio" name="q1[]" value="are">are<br>
<input type="radio" name="q1[]" value="be">be <br>

<b>Question 2: Where ... you live?</b><br>
<input type="radio" name="q2[]" value="does"> does <br>
<input type="radio" name="q2[]" value="do"> do <br>
<input type="radio" name="q2[]" value="done"> done <br>

<b>Question 3: What ... your name?</b><br>
<input type="radio" name="q3[]" value="are"> are<br>
<input type="radio" name="q3[]" value="have"> have <br>
<input type="radio" name="q3[]" value="is"> is<br>



<br>
<input type="submit" value="Determine Your Coolness">
<?php
$_SESSION['q1']=$_POST['q1'];
$_SESSION['q2']=$_POST['q2'];
$_SESSION['q3']=$_POST['q3'];
?>
</form>
</body>
</html> 

---html form end

 

--array.php

 

<?php session_start();
?>


<?php
$_SESSION['q1']=$_POST['q1'];
$_SESSION['q2']=$_POST['q2'];
$_SESSION['q3']=$_POST['q3'];
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

if (!$conn) {
    echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
    exit;
}
  
if (!mysql_select_db("ajax")) {
    echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
    exit;
}

$sql = "SELECT q_id, ans FROM   answers ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if (!$result) {
    echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
    exit;
}

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
    echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
    exit;
}


foreach(array_values($_SESSION) as $value)
{
    echo $value ."</br>";
}


while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row["q_id"];
    echo $row["ans"];
    
}

mysql_free_result($result);

?>

Sorry for not being more specific.

I need to compare q1,q2,q3 values (extracted from S_SESSION array) with values of "ans" field pulled from mysql table.

 

array_1=$_SESSION[]=[q1]->is,[q2]->are,[q3]->do //data extracted from html/checkboxes

 

$sql_array[]=q1->is,q2->do,q3->is //data from mysql

Is there a way to compare these two?

array_diff_assoc?

 

Thanks
