bassplaya4string Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I am trying to make a simple little survey that calculates the total score and if a field is left empty, it will return to the survey. All is well except the while statement near the end. I cant get it to return to the form if a question is not answered. can someone please take a look at it and help me out. I know this may seem elementary to some but I am only starting to use php alot. Thanks![code]<?php$questions = array($_POST["Q_1"], $_POST["Q_2"], $_POST["Q_3"], $_POST["Q_4"], $_POST["Q_5"], $_POST["Q_6"], $_POST["Q_7"], $_POST["Q_8"], $_POST["Q_9"], $_POST["Q_10"],);if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if page is not submitted to itself echo the form?><html><head><title>Test</title></head><body><form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">1.

bassplaya4string Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 I tried that and it can back with the same error as before: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_WHILE in /home/content/H/a/l/HaloWeb/html/test.php on line 59.I think something is wrong with the while loop. Like I said before I am fairly new to php, so please be patient. Thanks!
