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!

I have a PHP dynamic form that I need to generate name/value pairs from that Flash CS3 can bring in and use. Four of the values are user selected from dynamic menus and the fifth value is from a field in the record isolated by the users four choices.

I believe If the name/value pairs are generated I can bring them into the Flash portion of the page. I would prefer not to change pages to accomplish this, but instead gather the users input, create variables and load them into Flash.

Appreciate any help with this, PHP is new to me and I'm using WA tools to do most of it. The external interaction with Flash is new. I've just not needed to use it in the Flash that I have developed in the past.
