add to score

tecmeister · February 16, 2008

Hi everyone,

I have entered a code for the score, but on every page it displays 2.

How do i make each question add to the score?

This is the code that i have used on the first page:

<?php
$username = $_REQUEST['username'];
echo $username;
?>
</div>
<div style="z-index: 101; position: absolute; top: 53px; width: 39px; left: 76px;">
<?php
$score = 0
?>
<?php
echo $score;
?>
</div>
</div>

<div style="z-index: 300; position: absolute; left: 460px; width: 334px; height: 203px; top: 70px;">

  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>
   <form method="post" action="adults easy q2.php">
   <input type="hidden" value="<? echo $score ?>" />
   <table width="133" align="center">
    <tr>
     <td width="112">
   Florida
   </td>
   <td>
     <input type="radio" name="answer" value="false" />
   </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <td>
   New York
   </td>
   <td>
   <input type="radio" name="answer" value="true" />
   </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <td>
   Chicago
   </td>
   <td>
   <input type="radio" name="answer" value="false" />
   </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <td>
   L.A
   </td>
   <td>
   <input type="radio" name="answer" value="false" />
   </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <td align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit" />
   </td></tr>
   </table>
   </form>
   
   </table>
</div>

This is the code on every other page:

<?php
$score = $_REQUEST['score'];
$answer = $_REQUEST['answer'];
?>
</head>

<body>


<div style="z-index: 101; position: absolute; background-image: url(icon/score_user.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; left: 251px; width: 151px; height: 101px; top: 26px;">
<div style="z-index: 101; position: absolute; width: 89px; height: 25px; left: 36px; top: 22px;">

</div>
<div style="z-index: 101; position: absolute; top: 53px; width: 39px; left: 76px;">

<?php

if ($answer == "true"){
$score = $score +2;
} else {
$score = $score -1;
}
echo $score;

?>
</div>
</div>

<div style="z-index: 300; position: absolute; left: 460px; width: 308px; height: 203px; top: 70px;">

<?php
$score = $_POST['score'];
?>
</div>

Thanks for your help

You're not passing the new score to other scripts, you should be using sessions. Also, having spaces in file names is not a good idea. It will work now, but may break in the future. Another thing, since you are using method="post" in the forms, use $_POST instead of $_REQUEST.

In your first script:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['score'] = 0;
?>

and remove

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $score ?>" />

In the other scripts:

<?php
session_start();
if ($_POST['answer'] == "true")
     $_SESSION['score'] += 2;
else
     $_SESSION['score']--;
echo $_SESSION['score'];
?>

Remove

<?php
$score = $_REQUEST['score'];
$answer = $_REQUEST['answer'];
?>

and

<?php
$score = $_POST['score'];
?>

When i enter that code i'm getting a error with the session:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sites/nurevolution.co.uk/public_html/quiz/adults easy q1.php:12) in /home/sites/nurevolution.co.uk/public_html/quiz/adults easy q1.php on line 21

line 21 = session start ()

Put the session_start() at the very start of the scripts:

<?php
session_start();
?>

No i'm still getting the same error.

I have had this error everytime i have entered it.

Is there something that im going wrong.

You have to put it before any output is sent to the browser. Please post the entire script.

That's not at the very start of the script. Do this:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>

That works thank you so much.

That shows you how much of a newbie i am.

There is another question for you.

How do i make it so the users can't go back and change the answer?

Thanks again for the help you have given me.
