Questionaire/Flow Chart for solutions script

[rennevat]

I'm looking for code snippets or script to create a php (possibly with ajax) script that presents the user with 20 possible problems. Then whittles it down to possible solutions based on a series of questions that pertain to what they may be experiencing or have observed. The end result would be that the user is ultimately presented with advice for their specific situation based on their answers. For each question, there may be as many as 10 scenarios until the final recommendation is displayed. I've googled, but perhaps I'm not using the right keywords. Any advice/direction is greatly appreciated.

Well, I hear that Watson will be coming to market in 18-24 months ... if you have some cash available at that time 😃

Thank you for the advice.

I wasn't able to find a specific PHP script to accomplish what we needed. But I'm copying the section of code for the first two questions (we have 10) using javascript just in case it is helpful to someone else. Not very elegant, but gets the job done.

<table>

<tr>
<td><label for="a">Reason for wildlife rescue</label></td>

<td><label class="bold">Injured</label><input name="a"  type="radio" value="Yes" onclick = "showMessagea(1)"/></td>

</tr>
</table>

<div id="a1" style="display:none">Get it to rehabber</div>
<div id="a2" style="display:none">Screen for health</div>

<div id="screen" style="display:none">
