I have a question on how to display the correct layout in my php

  • 0

I have a question on how to display the correct layout in my php code:

OK I want to display all of the questions in a single assessment in a table. Now at the moment it is displayed as below:

Question No.  Question                        Answer        Marks Per Answer      Total Marks
1             What is 5+5?                    B             (text input)          3
2             Name three maneuvers you will   ECB           (text input)          7
              undergo in a driving test

I want to change the display of the table so that it looks like this below:

Question No.  Question                        Answer        Marks Per Answer      Total Marks
1             What is 5+5?                    B             (text input)          3
2             Name three maneuvers you will   E             (text input)                   
              undergo in a driving test       C             (text input)          7
                                              B             (text input)
  1. As you can see from the new display. I want the each answer that belongs to a question to be displayed in thier own rows, not all answers in one row which is what it is doing at moment.
  2. The other issue I have is that it is only displaying one text input for each question. It should instead show a text input for each answer within a question.

My question is that how can point 1 and 2 be achieved so that it can match the new layout?

Below is the code for the current display:

$query = "SELECT q.SessionId, s.SessionName, q.QuestionId, q.QuestionContent, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT Answer SEPARATOR '') AS Answer, q.QuestionMarks 
FROM Session s 
INNER JOIN Question q ON s.SessionId = q.SessionId
JOIN Answer an ON q.QuestionId = an.QuestionId AND an.SessionId = q.SessionId
WHERE s.SessionName = ?
GROUP BY an.SessionId, an.QuestionId
";

// prepare query
$stmt=$mysqli->prepare($query);
// You only need to call bind_param once
$stmt->bind_param("s", $assessment);
// execute query
$stmt->execute(); 


// This will hold the search results
$searchQuestionId = array();
$searchQuestionContent = array();
$searchAnswer = array();
$searchMarks = array();

// Fetch the results into an array

// get result and assign variables (prefix with db)
$stmt->bind_result($dbSessionId, $dbSessionName, $dbQuestionId, $dbQuestionContent, $dbAnswer, $dbQuestionMarks);
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
$searchQuestionId[] = $dbQuestionId;
$searchQuestionContent[] = $dbQuestionContent;
$searchAnswer[] = $dbAnswer;
$searchMarks[] = $dbQuestionMarks;
}   

?>      

</head>

<body>


<form id="QandA" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post">

<?php 

echo "<table border='1' id='markstbl'>
<tr>
<th class='questionth'>Question No.</th>
<th class='questionth'>Question</th>
<th class='answerth'>Answer</th>
<th class='answermarksth'>Marks per Answer</th>
<th class='noofmarksth'>Total Marks</th>
</tr>\n";
foreach ($searchQuestionContent as $key=>$question) {
echo '<tr class="questiontd">'.PHP_EOL;
echo '<td class="optiontypetd">'.htmlspecialchars($searchQuestionId[$key]).'</td>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<td>'.htmlspecialchars($question).'</td>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<td class="answertd">'.htmlspecialchars($searchAnswer[$key]).'</td>' . PHP_EOL; 
echo '<td class="answermarkstd"><input class="individualMarks" name="answerMarks[]" id="individualtext" type="text" "/></td>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<td class="noofmarkstd">'.htmlspecialchars($searchMarks[$key]).'</td>' . PHP_EOL;
}
echo "</table>" . PHP_EOL;

?>

    What are E,C and B? Are they the answer for question 2? If so I assumed that $searchAnswer contains them (E,C,B). So I think you should use foreach loop for it.

    foreach($searchAnswer as $key){
echo "$key<br />";
}

    or

    for($i=0;$i<count($searchAnswer);$i++){
echo "$searchAnswer[$i]<br />";
}

    Good luck.
