asking about make timer for questions pages

gooldman2006

Hi; Everybody

I have tried to make questions pages by PHP .

there are 30 questions and every question in one page . student use next to move to the next question.

I do that code but now i want to make only 60 Min. for all questions then

if student do not finish test before 60.Min.

stop move to next question ( and messege apear test time finish ) Is it by cookies or what ?

also how make time in the pages of questions show how many Min. still form 60 Min .

cheerio

When the first question is display, set a cookie with its value being time(). Then, during each question, use this:

if(time() - $_COOKIE['time'] > 3600) //3600 seconds is 1 hour
{
  //TEST IS FINISHED
}
else
{
  //CONTINUE TEST
}

sorry i have tried to do that but do not work;
this first page code :


<?
<?
$time2 = time();
 setcookie ("time", $time2 );


echo"$time2";
echo"<br>";
echo "cookie  =" . $time ;

?>

the next page :


<?
$time3 = time();
echo "$time3";
echo "<br>";
$_COOKIE['time'] = $cok ;
echo "$cok";
echo "<br>";
if(time() - $cok > 3600) //3600 seconds is 1 hour
{
  echo"finish cookies" ;
}
else
{
   echo"still cookies"  ;
}


?>

also what about show how many Min still .

bradgrafelman

You can't have ANY output before a setcookie() call, that includes whitespace outside of the PHP tags.
```
echo "cookie  =" . $time ;
```
Where is $time ever set?
```
$_COOKIE['time'] = $cok ;
```
You just overwrote the cookie with a variable that was never set.
```
echo "$cok";
```
This variable STILL doesn't exist.

Clarkey_Boy

What you should have put, to include $cok as a variable, is:

$cok = $_COOKIE['time'];

Instead of:

$_COOKIE['time'] = $cok;

I have never worked with cookies - I have tried but always failed. I will have to tackle them sometime. Meanwhile, however, I can not help you with the rest of the cookie stuff.

No, for 2 reasons:

Nobody learns nearly as much in a situation where they are spoonfed answers. If they have to work through it themselves, they'll remember it and learn more from it.
My comments plus Clarkey Boy's example rewrite should be enough to get you started. Try changing your code using our suggestions and repost it. We can work on it from there.

Dear bradgrafelman ;
Thanks for y reply i have tried to do that

page ck555.php

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>hi</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<form method="POST" action="ck666.php">
<table border="0" width="27%">
<tr>
        <td width="40%"><font face="Tahoma" size=2>USER NAME:</font></td>
        <td width="60%"><font face="Tahoma" size=2><input type="text" name="username"></font></td>
    </tr>

    <td width="40%"><font face="Tahoma" size=1><input type="checkbox" name="aaa" value="1" > Remember me</td>
    <td width="40%"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"></font></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

ck666.php

<?php
session_start();
if($_POST['aaa']=='1'){
$_SESSION['username']= $_POST ['username'];
setcookie ("rname", time(), time() +3600);

echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0; URL=ck777.php' />";
echo"<br>";
}else{
    echo "check please !!!";
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1; URL=ck555.php' />";
}

?>

ck777.php

<?php


$t=time();
if( $t > $_COOKIE['rname']+ 180   ) //3600 seconds is 1 hour
{
    echo"<br>";
  echo"finish cookies";
}
else
{
  $t1 ==$t-$_COOKIE['rname'];
  echo " $t1";
  echo"<br>";
   echo"still cookies" ;
}



?>

Now how can i show how many Min. and Sec. left from $t1.
$t1 ==$t-$_COOKIE['rname'];
echo " $t1";
also is there any javascript count how many Min left and show it in the page .
