Hi guys. I’m Rich and only just joined this forum. I hope that you can help me please as I’m ready to rip my hair out!
At the moment I’m re-creating the website that I designed for my dissertation while I was at uni. This is also going to be my portfolio to show employers my skills and knowledge which will help me to get a graduate PHP web developer job. Over the past few weeks I have had a number of job offers but they cannot offer me an interview untill I have my website up and running and on a web domain.
The webs site is a learning aid for people like myself who have the learning disability called dyscalculia. There are revision pages that are now complete. I have got a quiz with 80 questions. I would like to be able to show just 20 questions that are random.
This is the quiz code so far:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css" />
</head>
<?php
require 'core/init.php';
include('inc/pheader.php'); ?>
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_GET['question'])){
$question = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', "", $_GET['question']);
$next = $question + 1;
$prev = $question - 1;
if(!isset($_SESSION['qid_array']) && $question != 1){
$msg = "Sorry! No cheating.";
header("location: start.php?msg=$msg");
exit();
}
if(isset($_SESSION['qid_array']) && in_array($question, $_SESSION['qid_array'])){
$msg = "Sorry, Cheating is not allowed. You will now have to start over. Haha.";
unset($_SESSION['answer_array']);
unset($_SESSION['qid_array']);
session_destroy();
header("location: start.php?msg=$msg");
exit();
}
if(isset($_SESSION['lastQuestion']) && $_SESSION['lastQuestion'] != $prev){
$msg = "Sorry, Cheating is not allowed. You will now have to start over. Haha.";
unset($_SESSION['answer_array']);
unset($_SESSION['qid_array']);
session_destroy();
header("location: start.php?msg=$msg");
exit();
}
}
?>

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks guys
