mysql_select_db ("cpedb",$connection);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `exam_question_mf` where `level`='$insert_level' AND `course`='$course' order by rand() limit $item";

$result=mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
	 	  
	  //$switch=true;
	  while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

I'm sorry if my question is not clear... Anyway my problem is that when i randomize my questions, i am generating a random of exam questions, there are no number beside it... for ex...

 

what is php?

a. program b.software c.food

 

there is no number beside it like this..

 

1.what is php?

a. program b.software c.food

 

 

hope this makes my questions clear... hope that you can help me...thanks again in advance  :)

make a counter before the while loop

$result=mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
$i = 1;	 	  
	  //$switch=true;
	  while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

		 ?>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="2" scope="col"><div align="left"><<?php echo $i.$row['question']; ?></div></th>
    </tr>
    <tr>

 

and increment it at the end of the loop

$i++;
}//end while

 

Thank you so much... it works..

I would like to ask again, if you dont mind, like i said earlier i am generating a random questions.. i have a problem (again) on how to connect/combine the first random (test1) to the second random (test 2) questions.. its like combining/connecting/continuing the numbering of test 1 and test 2.

 

for example, for the easy category, there are 30 questions... i will connect it to the average category (let us say it contains 20 items).. how can i connect it...

hope my question is clear.. thanks again and hope you reply...
