No that the test where you test the scripting, I am talking about is it possible to make a test using php. by that I mean, a ‘user’ fills out a form, a simple ABC type test. then the script checks for the right answer, how would you go about making a script like that, which checks if the right answer is put in and such, can you point me in the right direction, or link some kind of article about this, I looked all over the web and coudn’t find anything, so I cam here because the people on here are really good, friendly and know what they are doing.
[code=php]
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$input = addslashes(strtolower($_POST['fieldtocheck']));
if(strcmp($input,'what_you_want_the_field_to_be_') == 0) {
// Success!
} else {
// Failure!
}
}
[/code]Are you just trying to compare a user's input to a pre-determined answer?
If so, try this:
[code=php]
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$input = addslashes(strtolower($_POST['fieldtocheck']));
if(strcmp($input,'what_you_want_the_field_to_be_') == 0) {
// Success!
} else {
// Failure!
}
}
[/code]
The strtolower() function in there makes the field case-insensitive, and addslashes() is obviously to secure the form.
Let me know how that works for you!

foreach ($_POST['questions'] as $question => $answer) {

if (strcasecmp($questions[$question], $answer) === 0) {
$correct++;[/code]so let me look at this: here is one qustion out of 15:
[code=html]<p>4) During an approach to a stall, an increase load factor will cause the airplane to? <br/>
<input type="radio" name="4" id="4a" value="4a" />A) Stall at a higher speed <br/>
<input type="radio" name="4" id="4b" value="4b" />B) Have a tendency to spin <br/>
<input type="radio" name="4" id="4c" value="4c" />C) Be more difficult to control</p>
[/code]
now the answer is A the first one so in the array it would look something like this:?
[code=php]'q4' => '4a',[/code]since the value and ID of the right answer are 4a.

[code=html]<p>4) During an approach to a stall, an increase load factor will cause the airplane to? <br/>
