[PHP] php quiz script/tutorial

2010-04-26 Thread Paul Jinks
I'm considering my options for making quizzes mostly multiple choice type of thing, but also 'filling in the gaps'. This is in support of educational materials I'm working on. So far I've looked at Flash and javascript but have concerns about accessibility for both of these. Does anyone have any e

Hi all I'm building a fairly basic php/mySql site but I'm running into problems due to my total lack of experience. I have a database of videos - each has a title, transcript, description and one or more topics. So far I can search the database by topic (using a drop-down menu), like this: "; }
