Hello all,
I just joined this forum. Before I ask my question let me introduce myself a little. I have been working for many years as a web designer. Although I have a familiarity with some code, I am mostly a designer. I am trying very very hard to teach myself PHP, but am having trouble because I am not use to thinking as a programmer/coder. But I am trying my best.
So recently, I am working on a project at work creating a PHP Quiz. I found a php script online that is working pretty well for me, but my issue is that I want the results of the quiz to be emailed to someone. After the quiz gets submitted, an email is successfully sent, but the email is blank without the results of the quiz sent. I want the email to include both the correct and the incorrect answers of the user. Please any help would be appreciated and remember I am a beginner. So please explain in baby-steps :o
The code is below. The only thing that I haven't done yet in the code is include the name and email fields. I will include those later when I get the email issue solved.
Also, the below code will go into a Wordpress template. While I know there are plugins for Wordpress to do what I am trying to do, I generally prefer not to use plugins and rather do it myself. Plus it's a good learning experience 🙂
Thank you very much.
