Need small help in PHP

Wanted to create a small questioneer with 5 to 10 questions.
The person selects one out of three option from each qustion.
Something like this

Q1 A B C
Q2 A B C
Q3 A B C
Q4 A B C
Q5 A B C

Finally what i want as a result is how many SELECTED A , B & C got

Like A=2
B=1
C=2


And also the top two should be displayed.

Like A&C

HOW do i do it???
Just need the PHP part there.... Do i use a for loop or an array to do that.

I was trying for using for loop cos even incase if i increase the no of questions to 10 0r 20 i wont have to make much changes in the script.


Can any one help.... Please...

Thanks

 

Try this. It may help you.

<form method="post">
<? for($i=1; $i<=5; $i++){ ?>
<strong>Question <?= $i ?></strong><br>
<input type="radio" name="q<?= $i ?>" value="1" />A
<input type="radio" name="q<?= $i ?>" value="2" />B
<input type="radio" name="q<?= $i ?>" value="3" />C
<Br />
<? } ?>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
echo $key. '='.$value. '<br>';
?>

PHP:

 

I would use an IF statement and then count the number of times a, b, or c was selected.
name your radio buttons a, b, c and then do something like this:

<?php
$aselection = $_GET['a'];
//$bselection etc.
if(isset($aselection)){
$acounter = 0;
$acounter++;
echo "a was selected" . $acounter . "times."
}

elseif (){ //then do the same for $bselection and so on...

}
?>

PHP:

++ will increase the value of whatever variable you put in front of it.
So every time the script finds a radio button that was selected it will count that as one.
Hope that makes sense and I hope that helps...

 

oops it should be like this instead:

<?php
$aselection = $_GET['a'];
//$bselection etc.
if($aselection !== "")){
$acounter = 0;
$acounter++;
echo "a was selected" . $acounter . "times."
}

elseif (){ //then do the same for $bselection and so on...

}
?>

PHP:

otherwise it would have detected that the radio button was set every time. This was it will only count it if there is something entered in $_GET.
