This component consists of two PHP files, one to show the actual questions, and the other one is holding the back-end scripts and showing the result of the completed quiz. Because of the PHP contents the quiz has to be represented on this page by an image. To see how it works, you need to download the zipped file, unpack it, and upload it to a server with PHP enabled. Nearly every server has PHP enabled, but not Coffeecup's S-drive.
You will have to study the source code a bit if you want to create a similar quiz with other questions. In the file quiz.php you will see what is text and what is code. The code can be used as is for any quiz. The actual question is within the legend tags, and then there are three alternative answers which have to be written before the input tag and also at the end of it where it says value.You can change the number of alternatives (you need at least two!). In that case you only make the change in the quiz.php.
Then in the file quiz_handler.php you only have to write the correct answer to each question in the line that looks like this: "if ( $question1 != 'Correct answer here!' )". The first instance of that appears on line 35, and there is a comment about it. Also, make sure you have no spaces between the correct answer and the single quotes on either side.
You can add more questions by following the numbering system in both files. And you can of course change the styling as much as you want.
