Displaying images based on form input

[Anon]

I am new to PHP and I am looking for some help here. I have a quiz that uses radio buttons. After the user clicks submit they are taken to a page that has explanations for each of the questions. I would like to be able to display an image of a check mark next to their answer for their reference. How can I do this using PHP? I would also like to be able to check that all of the questions are answered before the form is submitted. Thanks in advance for your replies.

the best way to do that is using cookies, it's very easy to use them with php , you'll need to make an array of cookies using something like that.

in some page you ask a question number1

do u like chocolate?

i answer yes (with a radio buton)

then you send the variable of the form to the response page with the answer on a varible called eg: radiobutton1 with the value yes, ant put that line at the first line of the action page

setcookie ("answer[1]", "$radiobutton1");

it will set the firt element of the array with the value "yes"

you can acces to this cookie just caling to the array.

print answer[1];
it will print "yes"

you can do it several time doing assingments to your array several times and accesiong it via its name.

do you like coke?

no ( you asign it to radiobutton2)

setcookie ("answer[2]", "radiobutton2");

and you acces to this value

print answer[2];

you can do a mark beside the the ansewer with an statment like that

if (answer[2]=="yes"){
print "you answer yes";
}

check out this page for more help you will there a lot of options for cookies, because my examples are just raw code build on fly for you

the best way to check if the all the questions are answered its using client-side javascript you will find a lot it must be somethin like that (this check the length of the string i don't know the method to check boolean data but you can find it at the web, or find a better function, i'm not a javascript guru and i can't help you so much with it)

function validation {
if (yourform.yourinput.value.length > 100)
{
alert("Your text must be shorter than 100 chars.");
yourform.yourinput.focus();
return (false);
}
}
