This would be amazing for my site, the only thing is people making a quiz can't upload images for their quiz results. Like someone takes a quiz an image shows up on the results page saying their personality.
So thats what I'm trying to figure out how to do. If anyone can give me any advice or if its not too much, come up with the modified script for me. It would be so helpful. I'd appreciate it very much. I've been trying to figure it out for the last week and I'm stumped. I'm also a beginner though.
Here is the script and you can download it all on the website above:
Instructions:
Mongwell Easy Quiz Maker
To use the Easy Quiz Maker, first edit the 'config.php' file. This file will allow you to set the password for the program. Look for the following line:
$password = "enter";
Change the word within the quotes (enter) to the password of your choice. Erase the word (but leave the quotes) if you don't want to use a password.
upload all the .php files to a directory on your server. The name of the directory doesn't matter, we suggest "quiz" or "quizzes" or "easyquiz"
You can set a custom HTML header and footer file for your quizzes. Simply create a header.htm and footer.htm file and upload them to the same directory as the quiz program on your server. This willallow you to have a custom template that you can easily change at will.
In order to create a new quiz, access the quizmake.php file on your server. For example, if the server name is yourserver.com and your quiz directory is "quiz", the URL would be:
http://www.example.com/quiz/quizmake.php
Make sure that you change the permissions on your quiz directory to 755.
When you make a quiz it will give you the instructions to access the URL for your specific quiz.
We recommend planning your quiz out in advance. Determine how many personality types to test for and how many questions you wish to ask. A minimum of 7 questions is recommended, but the more questions you ask the more accurate the test will be.
Your questions don't have to be completely scientific or methodical. Remember, these quizzes are just for fun. Just try to think of questions that each of your personality types will answer differently.
What you need to do is determine the answer that each personality type is most likely to give to each question. Most people will not answer
100% for any single personality type, the system is designed to tally up their answers and see which personality type they answered for most prominently.So plan out each personality and what it's general characteristics will be, and plan out all your questions and possible answers. Once you've done that it will be easy to enter everything into the forms and create your quiz.

[edit reason] No urls please! [/edit]
Also if anyone can just let me know an image uploading script I can figure out how to integrate it.
Just one that uploads images to a specified directory and displays the image onto the next page. One where I can call the image address with a variable to put in code or a textarea box. That would be so helpful. It seems like a simple script but I've been looking everywhere for something like that and haven't been able to find any.
