Online Survey With Random Questions Group Variables

[sakisdem]

Hi to all

 

i am trying to create a right variable so can display random questions. Let me explain feather

 

My first question is a checkbox questions with 5 answers.

 

every answer have a 5 more group questions.

 

I need a variables code to do this:

 

Every time the user checks (in first checkbox) the answer 1 and 3 the code automatically selected to display the group of 1 or 3 (not the 2 together)

 

The same philosophy must have and the outher questions, if the answer (on first) is 2, 4 and 5 must display the group of question 2 or 4 or 5.

 

Thanks a lot!

If the answers selected are in an array (such as $_POST['answers'] )

 

<?php
   $answers = array(2, 4, 5) ;    // could be $_POST['answers']
   $random_group = $answers[array_rand($answers)];
   echo $random_group;
?>

actialy my site is build in joomla 2.5.8 and the program i use the RSForm Pro component.

 

All the variables is display in one php file:

etc.

 

What to i do to make each departments questions a group &

 

My first questions

 

i am trying to create a right variable so can display random questions. Let me explain feather

My first question is a checkbox questions with 5 answers.

every answer have a 5 more group questions.

I need a variables code to do this:

Every time the user checks (in first checkbox) the answer 1 and 3 the code automatically selected to display the group of 1 or 3 (not the 2 together)

The same philosophy must have and the outher questions, if the answer (on first) is 2, 4 and 5 must display the group of question 2 or 4 or 5.

 

I hope to understand

Thanks a lot!

[sakisdem]

Can anyone help me?

Plz!

[sakisdem]

nobody?

[Barand]

I've shown you how to get a random group from the selected answers. All you need to do next is retrieve the set of questions for that group and display them.

[sakisdem]

the a lot for the answer Barand but i'm really new in scripts.

Can you please show me how to do that?

[Barand]

Not without knowing how you are storing your groups of questions.

[sakisdem]

I already do this but I don’t know if is correct…

<?php
$meetgroup[ ] = "meet1";
$meetgroup[ ] = "meet2";
$meetgroup[ ] = "meet3";
$meetgroup[ ] = "meet4";
$meetgroup[ ] = "meet5";
$fruitgroup[ ] = "fruit1";
$fruitgroup[ ] = "fruit2";
$fruitgroup[ ] = "fruit3";
$fruitgroup[ ] = "fruit4";
$fruitgroup[ ] = "fruit5";
$delicatgroup[ ] = "delicat1";
$delicatgroup[ ] = "delicat2";
$delicatgroup[ ] = "delicat3";
$delicatgroup[ ] = "delicat4";
$delicatgroup[ ] = "delicat5";
$fishgroup[ ] = "fish1";
$fishgroup[ ] = "fish2";
$fishgroup[ ] = "fish3";
$fishgroup[ ] = "fish4";
$fishgroup[ ] = "fish5";
$pfcgroup[ ] = "pfc1";
$pfcgroup[ ] = "pfc2";
$pfcgroup[ ] = "pfc3";
$pfcgroup[ ] = "pfc4";
$pfcgroup[ ] = "pfc5";

    $answers = a1(a10, a11, a12, a13, a14) ;	 // could be $_POST['answers']
    $random_group = $answers[array_rand($meetgroup, $fruitgroup, $delicatgroup, $fishgroup, $pfcgroup)];
    echo $random_group;
?>

[Barand]

Are you using a database

 

a ) to store the questions?

b ) to store the survey results?

 

If not, how do you store them?

[sakisdem]

Actually I’m using Joomla 2.5.8 and the RSForm Pro component.

The component, store all the results in one table in my database. (Created himself).

Barand if you wand I can give you access to my administration panel in Joomla and see if you can help me.

[Barand]

I have zero experience of Joomla so I couldn't be of much help there. Here's a solution using an ini-type file, but you could substitute a db solution. The main thing is the method.

 

The questions file

[0]
meat="Butcher shop"
fruit="Fruit"
delicat="Department sausage / cheese cutter (Delicatessen)"
fish="Fish market"
pfc="Packaged food and cleaning"


[meat]
1="The meat was fresh"
2="The meat quality was good"
3="The butcher serve you well on that you needed"
4="The butcher gave you advice about baking"
5="There was good variety in terms of types of meat"

[fruit]
1="The fruit was fresh"
2="The fruit quality was good"
3="The grocer serve you well on that you needed"
4="The grocer gave you advice about baking"
5="There was good variety in terms of types of fruit"

[delicat]
1="Deli question 1"
2="Deli question 2"
3="Deli question 3"
4="Deli question 4"
5="Deli question 5"

[fish]
1="Fish question 1"
2="Fish question 2"
3="Fish question 3"
4="Fish question 4"
5="Fish question 5"

[pfc]
1="PFC question 1"
2="PFC question 2"
3="PFC question 3"
4="PFC question 4"
5="PFC question 5"

 

the code

<?php
if (isset($_POST['group'])) {
   if ($_POST['group']=='0') {
    //
    // initial questions so get one group at random
    // from the answers
    //
    $group = $_POST['answers'][array_rand($_POST['answers'])];
   }
   else {
    $group = $_POST['group'];
    //
    // save group and answers to DB here
    //
    exit ("Thank you for your response");
   }
}
else {
   //
   // nothing posted yet so display initial questions
   //
   $group = '0';
}

$questionsArray = parse_ini_file('questions.txt',1);

$questions = '<h3>' . $questionsArray['0'][$group] . '</h3>';
foreach ($questionsArray[$group] as $k => $q) {
   $questions .= "<input type='checkbox' name='answers[]' value='$k'> $q<br />\n";
}   
?>
<form method="post">
<input type='hidden' name='group' value="<?php echo $group?>" />
<?php echo $questions?>
<br />
<input type='submit' name='btnSubmit' value='Submit' />
</form>
