Homework 7
- Task
Create a PHP program that can process a simple quiz made with radio buttons. In addition, it should include 1-2 text input fields that ask for a name.
- You can reuse elements from the JavaScript (hw 6) exercise. You also could relate the topic of the quiz to the term project.
- You may use questionnaire items from other sources, but do not plagiarize. If you reuse assets from another source, cite the source. Plagiarism is simply not accepted and will be sanctioned.
Note: CS students familiar with HTML forms and PHP can use other HTML forms but be warned that, for example, processing checkboxes is more difficult.
- Tips
- Validate your HTML code
- Use the server log files for finding PHP errors or keep the following line at the start of your PHP code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
- Evaluation criteria
- Ergonomics and content (does the quiz "make sense" and is it interesting)
- User experience (does it look good)
- HTML and CSS code (is it valid)
- Style and presentation
- PHP (is your code running, does it compute ok)
- Due
- Before Wednesday week 8 class
- Submission
- Submit the files (*.html, *.php and if needed *.css, pictures, etc.) to the world classroom
