passing data through 10 pages 2

zuu2343 · Apr 16, 2003

Hi, I am creating a quiz with php including 10 questions. For each question I'd like to have a different page.

As the user answer each question, their point will increase or remain same.

I used simple form with post method, and I can have first two pages working.

However, my problem is I can not keep their scores for other pages with post method.

Is there any way I can keep their scores and show them at the end without using sessions? And how am i going to do it?

If you know a website about this topic, that'll be great too.

Thanks for the help...

I forgot to tell you , I do not have any database installed on the server. Quiz will be take and quit kind of one..

What I would do is use a carry-over input of type "hidden" on each page.

As the user walks through the pages of the quiz, the script can use the value from the hidden field to add to or subtract from the score.

On page 3, you would have the following:

Code:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pageonescore&quot; value=&quot;$pageonescore&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pagetwoscore&quot; value=&quot;$pagetwoscore&quot;>

and pass $pagethreescore as the value of the answer.

OR - - Why reinvent the wheel? How about another direction entirely?...

I used this a few years ago (I assume it is still good). It is a quick HTML quiz maker.
