Quick little followup question:

if i have this:

for ($n = 1; $n <= $quiz[number_answers]; $n++) {
        $table = $qcode."_answers";
        $value = $answers["answer".$n];
        $value2 = "answer".$n;
        
        $query_alter_table = "ALTER TABLE $table ADD $value2 TEXT NOT NULL";
        $query_add_answers = "INSERT INTO $table ($value2) VALUES('$value')";
        if (mysql_db_query($database_glob, $query_alter_table, $link_glob)) {
                if (mysql_db_query($database_glob, $query_add_answers, $link_glob)) {
                        echo "Answer $n: $value has successfully been added to the 
Quiz<br>\n";
                } else {
                        echo mysql_error() ." 1<br>";
                }
        } else {
                echo mysql_error()." 2<br>";
        }
}

How do I get the $value to be in the same row as the preceding one?
now it comes like this:
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+
| id | answer1 | answer2 | answer3 | answer4 |
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+
|  1 | answer1 |         |         |         |
|  2 |         | answer2 |         |         |
|  3 |         |         | answer3 |         |
|  4 |         |         |         | answer4 |
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+

so it's like this?
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+
| id | answer1 | answer2 | answer3 | answer4 |
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+
|  1 | answer1 | answer2 | answer3 | answer4 |
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+

thanks,

Jule
