Creating an online Quiz

[fatbill]

Hello readers.

 

 

 

Using the knowledge I gained about coding a quiz at a cource I went to, I would like to create a interactive quiz once again but to host onto a website on another place anyone can suggest.

 

 

 

I am almost certain I can code all the stuff that I would want in to a fairly basic quiz for the moment and so dont need anyhelp with that part.

 

 

 

To do this I have Visual Basic 6 Portable, which I hope I can do this on.

 

 

 

But, there are something I need to know.

 

1. Can I do it on this program or do I need to do something else?

 

2. Are there any special things I must include for the web [Caution: Executable File]?

 

3. Once created how would I put it onto a website?

You wont be able to convince people to download your exe. If you want to do an online quiz then you'll need to use a different programming language more suitable such as php.

Just like Mercifull said I recommend against hosting a [Caution: Executable File] file, as the risk is too great for anyone to use it (well at least the risk is just for a poll).

 

You can make a poll using asp.net (basically a online version of vb.net) or .php and host it online, that way the user wouldn't have to download anything and your results will all be online (instead of the user having to email you the results).

if you want it to just show the user the results, or have the answers emailed to you, it is simple, just use a form with a few javascripts, either

to get the results by email or to just show the user their score use

 

check answer

 

or something like that...

 

if you want to save the answers/scores, you'd need to make a mySQL database, and process the form with php.
