Hi All,

I have a form which has 5 question and each question has 3 options(e.g. A, B,C)
these options are represented by radio buttons.
and one submit button is there...
after clicking on submit I should get which option is clicked maximum time.
(e.g. for question 1, option A is clicked, for question 2, Option B is clicked, for question 3, Option A is clicked, for question 4, option C is clicked, for question 5 option A is clicked...so after clicking on submit button, I should get answer A as maximum clicked option.)

how would I do this without using DB?

The most logical thing to do is use a file with a list of questions and their associated answers on each line. You could also use an XML file or SQLlite which is built into PHP 5.

Example text file format:

1||Question 1||C||Option A, Option B, Option C
2||Question 2||B||Option A, Option B, Option C
3||Question 3||A||Option A, Option B, Option C

Example XML file format:

<questions>
    <question id="1">
        <text>Question 1</text>
        <answer>C</answer>
        <options>
            <option id="A">Option 1</option>
            <option id="B">Option 2</option>
            <option id="C">Option 3</option>
        </options>
    </question>

    <question id="2">
        <text>Question 2</text>
        <answer>B</answer>
        <options>
            <option id="A">Option 1</option>
            <option id="B">Option 2</option>
            <option id="C">Option 3</option>
        </options>
    </question>

    <question id="3">
        <text>Question 3</text>
        <answer>A</answer>
        <options>
            <option id="A">Option 1</option>
            <option id="B">Option 2</option>
            <option id="C">Option 3</option>
        </options>
    </question>
</questions>
