vp Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I just wanted to develop a web application - an online quiz, in which i need to fetch questions only once & display one at a time as the user clicks the NEXT button. But, in php ,i guess it is difficult to have the questions(data) stored & use it on the event basis(button click)(since its a mere script invocation). Whereas , in asp.net it is easily done, since the data fetched can be stored till the user ends appln. So can u suggest some ways to do it in php......? or asp.net is the only go...?

kickstart Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi Easy enough to do. You still have access to all the back end stuff that .net uses to provide these functions, just that you can chose not to waste machine time and resources using them when not required. Use a session to keep track of the user and then either store the asked questions in a table (indexed on the session id) which would make it easy to use a JOIN to exclude previous asked questions, or more crudely just store the asked questions in a session variable. All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
