A special Educational Needs teacher looked at this programme, saw its potential and asked for scoring facilities. This raises a few problems.
Can Cookie's be used to retain the scoring values for the length of the quiz?
Can you use Cookie's and Sessions together?
Can you read a Cookie then send new values back on the same page?
Where must they placed on the page, I have seen reference to Buffering Output.?
I have had a go at writting code without must success. The additional logic I am using is:-
On Answer page "timestabl2.php"
Obtain $score and $total values from a Cookie
I assume initial values will be zero
If corect answer add 1 to both $score and $total
If incorrect add 1 to $total
Return these new values the Cookies (time-out set to 30mins)
Pupil return back to the Main Page using link to open up a new page so generating new random numbers. Not Back Button.
On Main Page "timestable1.php"
Read Cookie for $score and $total
Score displayed as a percentage with number of attempts.
Possible display time left!
I would be greatful for any help, I cannot find any info on tutor web pages etc.
