The purpose of the form is to test student knowledge. As the student takes the test, each response is checked with Javascript for correctness yielding a cumulative score.
When the test is finished and the student clicks the 'Send Assignment' button, the answers and score along with name and email address are sent in an email back to me. PHP (LMLsubmit2.php) is doing the checks for a valid, student email address, gathering the form info, and sending the email. BUT what's happening is, it checks for a valid, student email address and as soon as it has one, it sends an email to me every time a question is answered without the 'Send Assignment' button being clicked. PHP is doing a beautiful job collecting and sending all the information, and the java checking is working too, but criminey, I don't need an email every time a student answers a question!
I'm a beginner in PHP or Java and don't know much - just enough to adapt and get by - and this one's got me stumped.
I've posted both the HTML page and PHP file being used below, but taken out my email address in LMLsubmit2.php where it should be: $emailmanager = 'someone@somewhere.com'. If you can help and need to see the form in action, please message me and I'll send you the link.
Thank you in advance.
Jeff
