[RESOLVED] html form test

homer09001

i want to make a simple 10 multichoice questions test my theory of how to do it as follows:

Test Page:
question followed by 4 radio buttons with same same group but with different name like A1, A2, A3, A4 then i was going to use $POST['Q1'] like so
A1 is the correct answer

if($_POST['Q1'] == A1)
{
$ans1 = 1
}
else
{
$ans1 = 0
}

i will make 10 of these if statments one for each question

$finalscore = $ans1 + $ans2 + $ans3 + $ans4 + $ans5 + $ans6 + $ans7 + $ans8 + $ans9 + $ans10

if($finalscore >=8)
{
echo ("Congratulations you got 80% or more please wait while we save your score and pass you to the application form");

**some kind of pause script**
header("apply.htm");
}
else
{
exit("Sorry but you didnt make the pass grade");
}

would this work? or am i missing something?

It would be quicker to do this to check the answers

	$ans = 0;
	for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {

	if($_POST['Q'.$i.''] == 'A1')
	{
		$ans == $ans++;

	}

}

if($ans >=8){ 
echo ("Congratulations you got 80% or more please wait while we save your score and pass you to the application form"); 

**some kind of pause script** 
header("apply.htm"); 
} 
else 
{ 
exit("Sorry but you didnt make the pass grade"); 
}

I was assuming that you would assign the value A1 to the correct answer each time like this for question 2

Question 2: answer is 2 
<br> 
    <input type="radio" value="A2" name="Q2">Answer 1<br> 
    <input type="radio" value="A1" name="Q2">Answer 2<br> 
    <input type="radio" value="A3" name="Q2">Answer 3<br> 
    <input type="radio" value="A4" name="Q2">Answer 4<br>

no because it would create a bug in the system if you think abotu it becauswe all the answers would be binded to A1 soem people can view the source and see the pattern

do you have an idea of a way i can do it?
