Re: Online Test
Database is best because it gives you much more flexibility and allows you to reuse the code. The percentage is the number of right answers divided by the number of questions time one hundred. correct/total*100 On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 3:50 PM, John Eubanks jae...@hotmail.com wrote: I am building an online test (actually, several of them) and need some help.

Re: Online Test
Given that you plan to build several, it would be easiest to make one generic codebase that can query the Database for all questions belonging to a certain test. Then your one codebase can server as all tests =] On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 2:00 PM, Jacob ja...@excaliburfilms.com wrote: I would think the DB approach would be easier to maintain and scalable... -Original Message- From: John Eubanks [mailto:jae...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 12:51 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Online Test I am building an online test (actually, several of them) and need some help.
