simplysandeep Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi PHP gurus I'm a newbie in this PHP world and I'm working on a tough project (A multi-step questionnaire system). Note: To cut down the coding, I would like to do it for only 1 step. Overview of the Process: Questionnaires: - Step 1: Authenticated users will see a variety of questions (Multiple answers for checkboxes, Radio buttons for single answers, text areas, etc) - Step 2: After finishing the first step; Users will be given a second set of questions (Based on their responses in step 1) - Step 3: After finishing the second step; Users will be given a third set of questions (Based on their responses in step 2) (These steps can be five or 10 or 20) - Step n: After finishing the (n-1) step; Users will be given a nth set of questions (Based on their responses in step n-1) Reports: - Admin should be able to generate reports at various levels (for each question, each user, each step etc). Data input: - Questions are in a csv file. Sample data records: - {Question Number; Question Name; Question Type; Answers}; - {1; What features would you like to have in your car; Checkbox; GPS||Leather Seats||Rear Camera & Sensors||Media Center} My approach: Database Name: Questionnaire Database Tables: 1. tbl_user_details (username; password; name, email) 2. tbl_questions (qid; qname, qtype_id, qanswers) ---> Data (1; What features would you like to have in your car; T1; GPS||Leather Seats||Rear Camera & Sensors||Media Center) 3. tbl_question_types (qtype_id; qtype_name) ----> Data (T1, checkbox) 4. tbl_user_response (username; qid; qname; user_answer; timestamp) I did get successful in writing code in importing a CSV file into MySQL db table (tbl_questions) and also displaying that in an HTML form. Questions look like: <input type= "value from tbl_questions"> Answer value from tbl_questions I need your suggestions in linking the input types and multiple-answers... so that I can store data in anew table. TIA. <html> <style type="text/css"> </style> <body> <?php $database_host="localhost"; $username="root"; $password=""; $database="test"; mysql_connect($database_host,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); // $query="SELECT * FROM tbl_qn_csv_input"; $query2="SELECT * FROM tbl_qn_csv_input, tbl_qn_types WHERE tbl_qn_csv_input.qn_type = tbl_qn_types.qn_type_id"; // $result=mysql_query($query); $result2=mysql_query($query2); $num=mysql_numrows($result2); mysql_close(); ?> <form action="test_questionnaire_step2.php" method="POST"> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Question ID</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Question Name</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Answer </font></th> </tr> <?php $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $f1=mysql_result($result2,$i,"qid"); $f2=mysql_result($result2,$i,"qname"); $f4=mysql_result($result2,$i,"qn_type_name"); $f3=mysql_result($result2,$i,"qn_answer"); $array = explode("||", $f3); $count=sizeof($array); ?> <tr> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f1; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f2; ?></font></td> <?Php echo ("<td>"); foreach($array as $count ) { echo ("<p style='word-spacing:10px;'> "); echo ("<input type='"); echo $f4; echo("' name=a[]"); echo (">"); echo ("<font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>"); echo $count; echo ("</font> </p>"); } echo ("</td>"); ?> </tr> <?php $i++; /* variables to be stored in the mysql table tbl_qn_report are $f1, $ f2, $f3, time stamp */ $query3= "INSERT INTO tbl_qn_report(qn_id, qn_name) values($f1, $f2)"; $result3=mysql_query($query3); } ?> </table> <br /> <input name="formsubmit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?Php ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
