tutorials with questions and answers

[Anon]

i want to create multichoice questions where the users clicks on a possible answer. After six or seven questions the test ends with the results of the test being stored into mysql database.

The questions will also be added to the database with the relevant answers too.

...and now you want to know how to do that, or are you just telling us that you're going to make this?

Jason,

1. create a form that has the questions and supplied answers in this fasion

<form method=post action=test.php>
<ol>
<li><select name=question1>
<option value=....> </option>
<option value=....> </option>
</select><b>Sample question goes here</b><br>
create as many select statements as there are questions... and then close the form...

2. Create test.php - script that will store this stuff in a database....
   <?
   //connect to mysql
   $conn=mysql_connect("host", "user", "password") or die("couldn't connect");
   //select your database
   $db=mysql_select_db("mydatabase", $conn) or die("couldn't select database");
   //initialize query string... know the name of your table
   $sql="insert into $table values (\"$question1\", .....)";
   //Then you execute the query
   $result=mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die("couldn't query");
   //Then close connection to avoid sleeping processes on your server
   mysql_close($conn);
   ?>

That's it.. Using similar concepts you can grade the test as well.
