PHP - Processing A Quiz Using Php
Hello everyone, I have a datatbase containing fields id, question, answer, and type. The questions are in true/false format, multiple choice and fill in the blank(text). At the moment, I am only trying to get the true and false questions to work. My code is as follows
Code: [Select] <?php $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root") or die("couldn't connect"); $select = mysql_select_db("login") or die ("cannot select database!"); $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM questions"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows!=0) { //code to login while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $dbquestion = $row['question']; $dbanswer = $row['answer']; $dbtype = $row['type']; $dbid = $row['id']; $correctanswer = explode('|',"$dbanswer"); switch($dbtype){ case "mchoice": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; break; case "boolean": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; echo $correctanswer[0]; //display radio buttons ?> <form name="boolean" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"> True <input name="question" type="radio" value= "True" /> False <input name="question" type="radio" value= "False" /> <input name="id" input type="hidden" value="<?php $dbid ?>" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> <?php echo "The answer submitted was "; echo $_POST['question']; ?> <?php break; case "text": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; //display text box break; } } } ?> The problem I'm having is that this creates a submit button for each question. When choosing true or false for the answer and pressing submit, the answer is selected for every question. I need the code to look at what the user has entered, check the answer against correctanswer[0]. I'm really in a bit of a hole here and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance James Similar TutorialsI am pretty new to using php and mysql and am struggling to understand how to go about processing a multiple choice quiz script to check if the answer given by the user is right or wrong and give the user the final result . I understand how to write and process register pages and login scripts and the like but for some reason I just can't understand what i need to do for this type of script So far my thinking has been 1) When the page is submitted have a query that compares the answer selected to the answer in the database. 2) Have php variables for correct and and incorrect both initialised to 0 and which will change depending on the answers given. 3) Use an if else statement similar to the code below to add up the score : - if($result['answer']==$_POST[$result['id']]){ $correct_answer++; }else{ $incorrect_answer++; } 4) Have a query that enters the person taking the quiz's grade in to the database. I would really appreciate it someone could give me some guidance for the best way to do this. I have included below my code for selecting the questions form the database. <?php // Starts the session session_start(); /* */ if (!isset($_SESSION['user_level']) or ($_SESSION['user_level'] != 0)) { header("Location: error_page.php"); exit(); } ?> <?php require_once ('mysqli_connect.php'); $email_address = ['email_address']; $quizGradeBegan=("INSERT INTO learner_grade_db( email_address, score, )VALUES ('$email_address',0) "); $result=@mysqli_query($dbcon, $submittedAnswerQuery); if(isset($_SESSION['email_address'])){ ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Q-Quiz: Learner Homepage</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="sdnt.css" /> </head> <body> <div class="wrapper"> <!-- Start of wrapper div --> <div class="header"> <!-- Start of header div --> <h1>e-Quiz: <br> Learner Homepage</h1> <?php //Makes a call to includes/leaner_nav.php in order to show The Learner Navigation Bar require_once("includes/learner_nav.php"); //Makes a call to includes/welcome_name.php in order to show the Learners name. require_once("includes/welcome_name.php"); /*Makes a call to includes/current_date in order to shows the current date.

Excuse the beginner question. Though, how do you avoid the processing of HTML when text becomes inputted, without stripping away the tags, or trimming the text in any way, simply leaving it as is? I have page1.php which has a post form and page2.php which display data/results. I have a seperate php script file which queries a database. Having completed the query and assuming a result, I would end up with something like Code: [Select] while($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) how do I get the data onto the display page. Looking at example approaches I found this using a go-between file Code: [Select] <?PHP include_once(process.php; process($_POST); display_results; ?> would display_results be a form of redirect? If not? Any help appreciated. Hello, Im trying to find a way to check around 500-600 links to check if they are alive. It works fine for 5-6 links but once i add more links it just times out.

Here is the code that creates the form. <?php // make connection require_once "../classes/sqlconselfbuild.php"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `materials` ORDER BY `id` ASC"); ?> <form action="../engines/testengine1.php" method="post"> <?php // results while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)): $id = $row['id']; ?> <p> id number: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][name]" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" /> Material: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][material]" value="<?php echo $row['material']; ?>" /> Stage: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>] [stage]" value="<?php echo $row['stage']; ?>" /> Qantity: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][quantity]" value="<?php echo $row['quantity']; ?>" /> Unit: <input type="text" name="materials[<?php echo $id; ?>][unit]" value="<?php echo $row['unit']; ?>" /> <br /> </p> <?php endwhile; ?> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> I am unsure how to get this information to insert into the database. How do you use the UPDATE query with a loop generated form ? [php] So I know a little about PHP but I am no expert by any means. But I have a project that I am working on for a fantasy football league and need some help. My users pick players from a list and then their selections are put into a database. So more than one user is likely to pick the same player. Then I need to score the players based off their games for the week. So I have code that gets the Distinct PlayerID and creates a form to update the player score (see code below), but I have no idea how to process the form. It's a little more complicated then the forms I've used before because the MySQL query would need to UPDATE all the rows for each individual PlayerID. Am I making any sense? Anyway, here is the code. If anyone has suggestions on how to process this form or a better way of doing it then please let me know. <? print '<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="update_player.php">'; // Connecting, selecting database $link = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } //Query $query=mysql_query("select DISTINCT(PlayerID), PlayerName, Team From fantasy4.temp ORDER BY Team;") or die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); print' <center> <table align=center border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=2 width=350> <tr align=center> <td width=50 align=center><b>Player ID </b></td> <td width=50 align=center><b>Team</b></td> <td width=200 align=center><b>Player Name</b></td> <td width=50 align=center><b>Score</b></td> <tr><td colspan="10" bgcolor="black" height="1"></td></tr> '; while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)){ if($color == 1) { print '<tr bgcolor=#dDdDdD> <td align=center> ' . $row['PlayerID'] . ' </td> <td align=center> ' . $row['Team'] . ' </td> <td align=center> ' . $row['PlayerName'] . ' </td> <td align=center> <input name="' . $row['PlayerID'] . '" type="text" id="' . $row['PlayerID'] . '" size="5" maxlength="5" /> </td> </tr>'; $color=0; } else { print '<tr> <td align=center> ' . $row['PlayerID'] . ' </td> <td align=center> ' . $row['Team'] . ' </td> <td align=center> ' . $row['PlayerName'] . ' </td> <td align=center> <input name="' . $row['PlayerID'] . '" type="text" id="' . $row['PlayerID'] . '" size="5" maxlength="5" /> </td> </tr>'; $color=1; } } print '</table>'; print '<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Update Player Scores" /></form>'; ?> This is what I tried that did not work <? // Connecting, selecting database $link = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } //Query $query=mysql_query("select DISTINCT(PlayerID) From fantasy4.temp;") or die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)){ $PlayerID = $_POST[$row['PlayerID']]; } while($score = array($_POST['$PlayerID'])){ //Insert Query $query2=mysql_query("UPDATE fantasy4.temp set Score='$score' where PlayerID='$PlayerID'") or die ('Yikes could not connect: ' .mysql_error()); $result = @mysql_query($query2); } //Check whether the query was successful or not if($result) { header("location: register-success.php"); exit(); }else { die("Query failed - " .mysql_error()); } ?> Okay after correcting the issues with the jQuery side of things I'm having a small error with the php processing side. I'm getting a response back in firebug that there is an undefined index "name" and undefined index "value". Now I'm not sure on a fix but I know I'll have to do some sort of foreach I think because on the jquery dataString is a each so there's going to be more than name and value coming in at one time. Code: [Select] <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); // Include the database page include ('../inc/dbconfig.php'); $styleID = $_GET['id']; $query = "SELECT fields.ID, fields.fullName, fields.enabled FROM fields INNER JOIN styles ON styles.ID = fields.styleID WHERE styles.ID = '" . $styleID .

I have a form... method = post action = /process.php Upon hitting process.php, it will UPDATE a data table with the $_POST data it gets from the form. After that, I want to send it to PayPal.
It seems like at some point I was able to complete two 'actions' at once, but it's so long since I've created my own forms. Then again, maybe it was a redirect after executing the UPDATE. I just don't remember, and anything I search for doesn't seem to produce results of something that worked. I've been messing around with clean urls in php and I've been having some trouble. I'm working on a private messaging system and when I go to "sitename.com/mail/view.php?page=inbox" it correctly displays the users inbox messages but when I put "sitename.com/mail/view/inbox/" it just displays the page like the GET value isn't set. Why is that? this is the HTACCESS file for clean url RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^view/([a-z]) view.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
Hi, I am doing some scraping and processing in php that is time intensive. On my local machine it was no big deal, but now that the project is live and has realtime users daily I have some concerns. When php is processing does this mean other people can't connect to the server? (They will be queued until the process I am running finishes) ? I hope not, but my local testing seems like it IS that way. I did this: I ran a php script from my browser that took a few minutes to execute. While it was running I tried accessing the same local site via another browser tab and it halted. If this is in fact how php works on the live server, how would I go about running about 6000 processes daily that would consume ~1-4 hours of processing time?
Thanks.
Edited September 6, 2019 by fivestringsurf What I'm wanting to do for the UPDATE statement is have it update the current value of answer_votes for that answer in that form to have it increase its value + 1 and increase the value of totalVotes for the specific poll +1 but not sure how that's accomplished. My table scheme is below. Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['vote_poll'])) { $poll_quetion_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['poll_question_id']); $poll_answer_id = (int) $_POST['id']; $voter_ip_address = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $voter_ip_host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; $query = "SELECT * FROM `poll_answer_votes` WHERE ((`voter_ip_addess` = '".$voter_ip_address."') AND (`voter_ip_host` = '".$voter_ip_host."'))"; $Qresult = mysqli_query ( $dbc, $query ); // Run The Query if (mysqli_num_rows($Qresult) == 0) { $query = "INSERT INTO `poll_answer_votes` (poll_question_id, poll_answer_id, voter_ip_address, voter_ip_host, vote_time_stamp) VALUES ('".$poll_question_id."','".$poll_answer_id."','".$voter_ip_addres."','".$voter_ip_host."', NOW())"; mysqli_query($dbc, $query); $query = "UDPATE `poll_answers` SET "; mysqli_query($dbc, $query); $result = "good"; } else { } } Table: polls Fields: id, poll_question, total_votes Table: poll_answers Fields: id, poll_id, poll_answer, answer_votes Table: poll_answer_votes Fields: id, poll_question_id, poll_answer_id, voter_ip_address, voter_ip_host, vote_time_stamp. I need to process a large CSV file (40 MB - 300,000 rows). While I have been working with smaller files my existing code is not able to work with large files. All I need to do is - read a particular column from file and then count total number of rows and add all the values from column. My exisitng piece of code imports whole CSV file into an array (a class is used) and then using 'ForEach' loop, reads the required column and values into another array. Once the data is in this array i can simply sum or count it. While this served me well for smaller files, i am not able to use this approach to read a larger php file. I have already increased the memory allocated to php and max_execution_time but the script just keeps on running I am no php expert but usualy get around with trial and error.......your thoughts and help will be greatly appreciated Exisiting code: Once data has been processed by initial class (Class used is freely available and known as 'parsecsv', available at http://code.google.com/p/parsecsv-for-php/) After calling the class and processing the csv file: ?php ini_set('max_execution_time', 3000); $init = array(0); //Initialize a dummy array, which hold value '0' foreach ($csv->data as $key => $col): //Get value from array, 'Data' is an array processed by class and holds csv data $ColValue = $col[SALARY']; //retrieves the column you want { $SAL= $col['SALARY']; //Column that you want to process from csv array_push ($init, $SAL); // Push value into dummy array created above echo "<pre>"; } endforeach; $total_rows = (Count($init) -1); //Count total number of value, '-1' to remove the first initilaized value in array echo "Total # of rows: ". $total_rows . "\n"; echo "Total Sum: ". array_sum($init) . "\n"; ?> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a form that I'm posting the contents to a 3rd party data management server via cURL. They return XML to let you know if the data was posted successfully or not. I'm trying to figure out how I can take that return XML and parse the data out of there. Quote <?php extract($_POST); $url = 'https://www.*domain*.com/DataReceiver'; $fields = array( blah blah blah ); foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; } rtrim($fields_string,'&'); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields)); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string); $result = curl_exec($ch); Now my question is, when the data posts and the XML is returned, how do I capture that? When I don't use cURL and post directly using HTTP POST, I get the XML returned at the exact same address I post to. So to process the XML returned, is this code correct? Quote $xml_feed_url = 'https://www.*domain*.com/DataReceiver'; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xml_feed_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $xml = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); I'm kind of at a loss on what to do from this point... Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and can help! Hi, I am just looking for some input on how I could make this form processing script more secure. In fact extremely secure. Like the most secure server side filtering can get! Code: [Select] <?php // Mail header removal function remove_headers($string) { $headers = array( "/to\:/i", "/from\:/i", "/bcc\:/i", "/cc\:/i", "/Content\-Transfer\-Encoding\:/i", "/Content\-Type\:/i", "/Mime\-Version\:/i" ); if (preg_replace($headers, '', $string) == $string) { return $string; } else { die('Spam much?'); } } // Build the email $to = 'info@example.com'; $subject = "Secure contact form message from: $subject"; $message = "$name said: $message"; $headers = "From: $email"; // field validation if ($subject=="" || $message=="" || $name=="") { print ("All form fields are required. Please go back and try again."); } else { // email validation if(!eregi('^([._a-z0-9-]+[._a-z0-9-]*)@(([a-z0-9-]+\.)*([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z]{2,3})?)$', $email)) { print ("Your email address does not appear to be valid. Please go back and try again."); exit; } // Send the mail mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); // Redirect header('Location: ../submitted.php'); } ?> Hey guys,
