Help with php quiz

[jimmys]

Hello.

I try to write a simple multiple choice quiz. I have my questions and answers in a xml file and I read the file into an array. My main problems is how I'll connect the various sessions where the different questions appear in order to keep the score and sum it up in the end. Also, how do I check if the selected answer is correct or not? Assuming that the correct answers are in an array in php code, can I use javascript to check the answers?

Any help?

Thanks.

Show us what you have coded thus far

All I did is to parse the xml file and put the data into an array

 

$questions[$no][$i]

 

where $no is the number of the question and on the $i positions I have on 0 the question and on 1 the answers

 

function char($parser,$data){

global $questions, $no, $type, $i;

switch($type){

case 1: $questions[$no][0] = $data; break; //this is the question

case 2: $questions[$no][1][0] = $data; break; //this is the correct answer

case 3: $questions[$no][1][$i] = $data; $i++; break; //these are the incorrect answers

}

}

 

Then I just created a form and put my first question.

I'm actually a newbie in php so I may miss the basics too.

Do I need to store somehow the correct answers in a different variable which will be globally accessible? Or do I pass it the one I have somehow with the post method, through the questions?
