kwdelre Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hello guys. I am learning PHP little by little and am writing a VERY basic quiz. For functionality in the future I want to be able to change questions and answers in one "included" php doc. The problem i am having with my current code is that I would like to place a variable in the "value" definition on the radio input. I am unable to do this I guess. Any suggestions to accomplish the same thing? Sorry for my horrible code, this is the first thing I have written from scratch. The form page: <?php include ("test.php"); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <h2><? print $q1; ?></h2> <form method="post" action="test.php"> <input type="radio" name="q1answered" value="Basketball"/> <?php print $q1ans[0]; ?> <input type="radio" name="q1answered" value="Football"/> <?php print $q1ans[1]; ?> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit Your Answer!" name="submit" /> </form> </body> </html> The php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <?php //Enter all questions below $q1 = "What is your favorite Sport?"; $q2 = "What is your favorite hobby?"; //End Questions //Enter Asnwer choices for each question $q1ans = array("Basketball", "Football"); //End Answers //All question defined variables here to make grading easier $qbank = array ($q1, $q2,); if (isset($_POST["submit"])) { $choice = $_POST["q1answered"]; if ($choice == $q1ans[0]){ print "Your Favorite Sport is $q1ans[0]."; } else { print "Your Favorite Sport is $q1ans[1]."; } } ?> </body> </html> Thanks!

objnoob Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sure you can, however you cannot if you hard code the whole input tag. Instead dymaically create them! echo $q1 . '<br/>' foreach( $q1ans as $answer) { echo "<input type='radio' name='q1answered' value='$answer'/>$answer"; } This would create radio buttons for each member of your array $q1ans I hope this helps!
