xxreenaxx1 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I am writing a program which checks the results for a student. If the results are same as the ones inside the table, then correct message is printed. If the results are not the same then the right answer should be printed as well as wrong message and the answer the user selected. I am using checkbox to let the user choose the answers and this is saved on to the database. I need to retrieve this and compare this with the original table. my tables are Answer: ,Ans_ID,Ans_Answer1, Ans_Answer2, Ans_Answer3, Ans_Answer4,Que_ID Question:Que_ID, Que_Answer1, Que_Answer2, Que_Answer3, Que_Answer4 Answer table is what the user enters and the question table is the one with the correct answer. SELECT Ans_ID, IF(answer.Ans_Answer1 = question.Que_Answer1 AND answer.Ans_Answer1 = question.Que_Answer1 AND answer.Ans_Answer1 = question.Que_Answer1 AND answer.Ans_Answer1 = question.Que_Answer1, "Correct","Wrong") AS result FROM answer LEFT JOIN question ON answer_id = question_id can someone give me ideas, not asking for you to write the code for me. just help me out as I am stuckk Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231931-comparing-two-tables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
