Very Basic Q: How easy is it to get...

[Anon]

I want webpage which displays a question with a Yes/No option for people to click on. Then depending on what the user chooses, another Yes/No questions, etc, etc.

I know how to do this in Perl, but was wondering if this sort of thing would be quicker/smaller in PHP.

I know nothing about PHP (as I've only started looking at it 10mins ago!), can anybody show me the little bit of code that is required for what I need, or can anybody point me to a script that I can work it out for myself?

If you know perl, you pretty much know PHP.
And if you have worked with perl and CGI, you have everything covered.

One thing to note is that in PHP, variables that have been passed to the script via the URL can be made to show up in the script as global variables.
As I recall this is the default for php4 installations.
(check the manual)

So, you could do this:

file a.php:
<?php
if ($submit)
{
echo $var;
}
else
{
echo "<form method=get action=a.php">;
echo "<input name=var>";
echo "<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>";
echo "</form":
};
