Please, show me how to get my a random question, $randomQuestion
(i.e., "What color is the sky?"
), and matching answer, $matchingAnswer
(i.e., "BLUE"
), from the $quizID's table's list of questions in my SQL database. Then, please help me use jQuery to refresh the $randomQuestion
and $matchingAnswer
, without refreshing the whole page.
In the end, it should flow like this:
- "Random Question from DB: "What color is the sky?" Answer: "_""
- User Inputs the Matching String: "BLUE
- On e's keydown, the form submits because "BLUE" matches $matchingAnswer.
- A new random question and answer are loaded: "Which way am I pointing ^?"
$matchingAnswer = 'UP'
. {repeat}
HTML:
<form name="$quizID" action="http://asite.com" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo $randomQuestion?></legend>
<p><label>
Answer: <input type="text" id="answer"
onkeydown="submitAns(submit.id)" />
</label></p>
</fieldset>
</form>
$.post('get-question_matchinganswer_for_quizID.php', {
quizID: $quizID,
question },
function(data) {
alert('Question is: ' + data.question)
alert('Answer is: ' + data.answer)
},
'json'
);
Also, need help to prepare the PHP file:
function random_row($table, $column) {
$max_sql = "SELECT max(" . $column . ")
AS max_id
FROM " . $table;
$max_row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($max_sql));
$random_number = mt_rand(1, $max_row['max_id']);
$random_sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table . "
WHERE " . $column . " >= " . $random_number . "
ORDER BY " . $column . " ASC
LIMIT 1";
$random_row = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($random_sql));
if (!is_array($random_row)) {
$random_sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table . "
WHERE " . $column . " < " . $random_number . "
ORDER BY " . $column . " DESC
LIMIT 1";
$random_row = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($random_sql));
}
return $random_row;
}
$randomQuestion =
$matchinAnswer =
