Turning an xls file into a PHP quiz - help required

Discussion in 'PHP' started by Dio, May 10, 2005.

    Firstly, I'm not a coder or a programmer by any stretch of the imagination. I was hoping someone here could maybe suggest a method of doing the following. I'm guessing PHP is the way to do it, but if there's an easier solution such as a simple form, then please suggest that also.

    Anyway, what I want to do is turn the two 'test yourself' .xls (Excel) files on this page: http://chavmum.co.uk/chav_or_posh.shtml into actual web pages that returns the percentage result and a logo for them to add to their site (like Quizilla.com) when taken.

    Does anyone know if there are any easy off-the shelf methods for doing this that a non-tech like me could use, or know if it possible to do?

    You first use html form to let users submit test data,
    then write a php script to process the data and
    finally output results to html.

    You need to know html and php for this task.

    Blimey, there's a thread from the past... :)

    In the end I went with a script that's no longer available, and ended up hacking it around to get it to output how I wanted. Learnt a little PHP along the way. :)

    Not sure whats out there now though, I still use the same thing whenever I do a quiz
