create multiple choice test form

What's on your server? PHP or ASP would be better than CGI.

Posting a link or the HTML would also help us help you.

I would like to have in CGI..

what link you are talking about ??


I know how to create forms .. ( i mean using those radio buttons).. But what I am looking is the cgi script.. I am seeing those online ( i mean doing google search) .. Trying to see which one is better..

>>I am seeing those online

Yes, there are a lot of them. This one is pretty simple, but your needs may be far more complex...

You are correct. There are lot ..

Thanks for your link.. I shall check that and will be back..

Mine is just very simple.. Just few questions in a page and all I want is once the user chooses everything
and presses submit , it should say you have got x out of y questions correct.. that is all I want

Thanks,
Sunray

Then that code should do it for you - it does pretty much exactly that...

May be I am overlooking something in these links.. I am not able to find the cgi script for doing this quiz..

Do you see that ?

Sunray

> what link you are talking about ??

A link to your form.

well I am yet to create a form.. But that is not a problem here ..

I am just looking for a cgi script to which would come into play once the user clicks on submit button..

The cgi script should just take in the answers, compares it and should say you have got x out of y points or something like that

The first one is here:

It's at the bottom part of the page. The cgi for the script is here:

The extropia one has a "download now" link.

Thanks

The first link of yours in your latest comment doesnot say about the script

The second link gives C code ..  

extropia download page of quiz doesnot workk...  

Sunray

I think it would be better to move this question to cgi area ..

I shall post a 0 pt in CS

Sunray

Sorry Sunray - the links works fine from this end ...

George,

The first link works.. I downloaded all the files .created the html form also.

I see in my server there is no cgi-bin directory.. can I create it and move the script to that directory or the administrator should create the cgi-bin directory .. I donot see any cgi-bin directory hence I create my own.. Put the script file there

But it doesnot work. The link actually has a C code and it is compiled to get script.. I am looking something like quiz.cgi

Sunray

Seriously... what does your server actually support? What's the URL?

I have got a linux server. well not mine.. It is actually one of  the hosting company

Thanks Sunray - glad you got everything working - although something tells me that the info in this paq may be more valuable in the html section, sice that covers all of the different scripting methods that can be used - often something like this can be a combination of cgi, javascript, and asp.
What do you think?

. But it was more of CGI script and I had to work more on the CGI side rather than html ..

Well I think that way

Sunray

Yes, I guess you're right.

Thanks again.
