php multiple choice quiz with answer count etc

[nade93]

Hi All

 

been battering my head against a wall with this so need some help if you can. I want to build a multiple choice quiz that has:

 

1. 10 questions

2. each question has 6 checkboxes they must choose from

3. there are three correct checkboxes and three incorrect

4. on submission, i want to be able to check if the right checkboxes are recorded then pass and save their score to a database and produce their results.

 

I am running their questions from a database and works fine, its  the correct and count and inserting score to database i am really struggling with.

 

Can anyone please help?

 

thanks in advance!

You should use sessions.

session_start(); // at the top of your page(s)

$_SESSION['score1'] = $score1;
$_SESSION['count']++;

I am using sessions already to record whether the person is logged in or not and to record their activity while on here, how can i integrate this also?

Use an array.

 

Example:

 

xHTML

<input type="checkbox" name="cb[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="cb[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="cb[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="cb[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="cb[]" value="1" />

 

PHP

<?php
foreach ($_POST['cb'] as $cb => $val) {
     // go through them
}
