Advice on a quiz

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 15.2009

Hey so I am doing this quiz and the questions will be based on the answers you give before so if it asks are you male and you say yes it question #2 will be do you shave your beard and if you said no question #2 would be do you shave your legs?

I would just like some advice on this maybe what direction to head to and how to make it dynamic as possible.

Thank you in advance!

@NogDogDec 15.2009 — Perhaps a database with a table of questions, and then a second response table which would point to the next question:
question_id
response
next_question_id
So you would retrieve the starting question from the question table, then get the next question via the above relational table. You might add another column to it to point to a "final result" table for responses that finish a chain.

Well depending on what path you choose the questions start changing so i guess it depends on gender. What i am thinking is to do a series of IFs for each question like if user clicked yes to this do this. I am looking for a way to maybe streamline that more

thank you

@Mr_Initial_ManDec 16.2009 — What I would do, to be honest, is get a pen and a piece of paper, and actually do a physical map of the paths the questions should take. That may help you create your program.

I have a map and i wrote all the ifs. Is there a way to specify a path in php like say take teh path of 1 then 2 then 3. Then have an array with questions 1 2 3 in it

@Mr_Initial_ManDec 16.2009 — What you COULD do, and this is going to sound odd: Take the map, and code it like an array, using the answers as array keys. That way, the answers could select which array of questions is used.

Success!
