I'm probably going to end up subcontracting this to someone, but I have to add a quiz to a website. Each answer carries a particular numerical weight value, when they finish the quiz, your total is given and you are told what category you fall under (great, good, bad, etc). Is there an online tutorial out there on how to code your own quiz, or perhaps a template? I see all these "what kind of fruit/comic book character/etc are you" type quizzes, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to make your own.

What type of server side sripting will your server allow for?

PHP? Python? PERL?

If you know the answer I may be able to help you, just need to know allowable programming languages first.

Its an iPowerweb server, I know they allow for php, but I don't know if they allow for Perl or Python.

Some good results on Google for: make a quiz tutorial

All you need is a server-side programming language.

I made one by taking an existing quix from the net and changing the questions. One I used was just written in javascript so easy to modify
