Hello,

 

 

I do not get a clear idea about your requirement. What I understood is :

 

Read the line of strings and identify it as a question or an answer and print it?

 

Could you please post the strings u need to be processed ?

1 min before we all start pogramming this have u got the database setup as advised please.

----------------------------

 

Question: What is your name?  ($question = What is your name?)

 

What the answer is.

$answer1 = "John";

($answer1 = $a3)

 

                                  Alternative 1: Thomas            ($a1 = Thomas)

                                  Alternative 2: Roger              ($a2 = Roger)

                                  Alternative 3: John                ($a3 = John)

 

if($answer1 = $a3) {

echo("Correct, the answer was $answer1.");

}

else {

echo("Wrong, the answer was not $answer1.");

}

 

 

Something along those lines. and of course you will have the form coding and what not to work with it.

hello,

 

Please copy the following lines of code. This reads a file named "data.txt" with the content

 

/*  File Name :: data.txt  */

 

<q> what is your name?

<a1> Thomas

<a2> Roger

<a3> John

 

/*  File Name :: show.php  */

<?

error_reporting(E_ERROR ^ E_WARNING);

$handle = @fopen("data.txt", "r");

if ($handle)

{

    while(!feof($handle))

{

      $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);

$pattern = '/<a(.*)>(.*)/';

$no_of_matches = preg_match($pattern,$buffer,$matches);

if($no_of_matches)

{

$answer = $matches[2];

$key = $a.$matches[1];

$array[$key] = $answer;

}

 

$qPattern = '/<q>(.*)/';

$noMatches = preg_match($qPattern,$buffer,$qMatches);

if($noMatches > 0)

{

$question = $qMatches[1];

}

 

    }

 

    fclose($handle);

 

echo "<br> Questions is: ".$question;

 

foreach($array as $key => $val)

{

echo "<br> Answer $key: $val";

 

}

 

}

 

?>
