How to prepare Quiz

Feb 17th, 2009

Hi,
I have created a database, a table and stored 3 questions in the table. I need to show the questions one by one to users. when first question is visible then while loop should wait until user click on submit button.

My Code is::
nclude("dbconnect.php");
$result=mysql_query("select * from English") or
die (mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>English Quiz</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Created by Narayankumar">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<div id="bv_Text1" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:196px;height:32px;z-index:0" align="left">
<font style="font-size:27px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><b>Engilsh Quiz:</b></font></div>

<div id="bv_Text2" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:52px;width:500px;height:16px;z-index:1" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><? echo $row['QN']; echo ". "; echo $row['Q']; ?></font></div>

<form action="evalution.php" method='POST'>
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton1"" name="Q" value="A" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:78px;z-index:2">
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton2"" name="Q" value="B" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:110px;z-index:3">
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton3"" name="Q" value="C" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:142px;z-index:4">
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton4"" name="Q" value="D" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:175px;z-index:5">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" style="position:absolute;left:39px;top:216px;width:75px;height:24px;z-index:10">

</form>

<div id="bv_Text3" style="position:absolute;left:33px;top:78px;width:201px;height:16px;z-index:6" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><? echo $row['A']; ?></font></div>
<div id="bv_Text4" style="position:absolute;left:33px;top:110px;width:201px;height:16px;z-index:7" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><? echo $row['B']; ?></font></div>
<div id="bv_Text5" style="position:absolute;left:33px;top:142px;width:201px;height:16px;z-index:8" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><? echo $row['C']; ?></font></div>
<div id="bv_Text6" style="position:absolute;left:33px;top:176px;width:201px;height:16px;z-index:9" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><? echo $row['D']; ?></font></div>

Looks like you are trying to use PHP as a client-side script, not possible. You will need to add Javascript or buttons to new pages to reload the questions as PHP is server-side and is compiled to HTML before being sent to the client.

AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.
