The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

mysql, PHP browser refresh or next query refresh

Asked by jimmy6154 in MySQL Server, PHP and Databases

I'm doing a very easy query to my database which is the code below which I placed into my index.php page with an "include".

since the query is random, I would like a way to create a button underneath the result allowing the user to "refresh" the page or run the query again or along the same lines as a next button. I know the query is selecting a random result, but thats unknown to the user and if I can someway refresh or reload the page, that would be sweet. I've tried the java "HREF="javascript:history.go(0)">" but that doesn't work I'm assuming because the users session is linked to the database.  I've also added the Meta tag "<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">" but that doesn't work as well which leads me to believe this needs to be a mysql type thing. I'm a mysql idiot.. lol so please be gentle.


thanks in advance
