Don't send the correct answer to the browser at all.
And don't tie the "ABCD" to the correct answer.
$question[47] = "Which animal flies around at night and sleeps in
the day?"
$answer[13] = 'cat';
$answer[14] = 'dog';
$answer[15] = 'trout';
$answer[16] = 'bat';
$correct[47] = 'bat';
?>
Your HTML could look like this:
A [input] cat
B [input] dog
C [input] trout
D [input] bat
To test if the answer is correct:
$q = $_REQUEST['q'];
foreach($q as $index => $a){
if ($correct[$index] == $a) echo "CORRECT";
else echo "INCORRECT: Correct is $correct[$index]";
echo "
\n";
}
You could also use the index to $answer as the value with:
$correct[47] = 16;
[input] bat
if ($correct[$index] == $a){
and all the other code the same.

Hey all. I'm overhauling my PHP based CMS and want to know how to set a variable equal to an HTML string, but without having to escape all the quotes! Example: $var = " News Options doc_path ?>admin/news/add/1/>Add doc_path ?>admin/news/update/1/>Update doc_path ?>admin/news/delete/1/>Delete "; This will die due to all the unescaped strings, not to mention the doc_path ?> statements.

Re: [PHP] Re: Set Variable = Long HTML String?
You can mingle double and singal quotes. So choose one for the PHP
quotes and one for the HTML quotes, HTML will use both interchangably.
For example your string could become:
$var = " Hey all.

From what I understand it suffers the same "hit" as double quotes,
since PHP has to parse it looking for variables. But it's not really
"special", it's just not as well known.

[PHP] Re: Separate PHP Code From HTML || Pros & Cons?
Hey all.
I've built a simple, yet effective PHP based CMS, one that I use in all
sites I develop.
Unfortunately, from site-to-site, functionality may be different; i.e. I
often have to extend the original CMS to account for custom client needs,
which means grabbing the most recent version of my CMS, and hacking it to
address whatever customization is required.
This presents problems in that any updates I make to the CMS only affect the
site I'm working on. So, while working on one site I may make changes to
the CMS, changes that improve the app., but other older sites do not get
updated -- it's OK now, but things are getting sloppy ;--)
I would dearly love to have a base CMS repository that all sites would draw
on, extending the base CMS in the event that a particular client has need of
customization. Some combo of Linux and Apache would do the trick; e.g. PHP
requests for any of my sites would point to say, "/home/cms/includes/"
That would help (not solve) the version control problems I'm running into
now (still have to figure out how to extend the CMS for customization).
Now, the other issue I'd like to address is separating PHP code logic from
site HTML.
I've restructured my CMS classes to do all MySQL queries, code logic, etc.
prior to calling target HTML template. This is great in that now when an
error occurs, I can catch { throw new Exception($e) } and gracefully display
the error along with a means to repopulating the offending form page.
I've often heard the mantra, "separate code from HTML", but it seems
ridiculous at times to include tiny HTML snippets that can easily be echoed
out, or stored in a variable. Smarty goes to the extreme in separating code
from HTML, but looking at their templating system, I wonder what's the
point? Is it the end of the world if you've got a few choice if, then, else
statements in your HTML templates?
I'm thinking of creating a bunch of include files based on request type in
my CMS Admin Center; e.g. include "classes/admin/news/add.php", where add,
update, or delete is the request type. This cleans up my PHP processing
pages quite a bit (don't have all the if add, do X, elseif update, do Y,
etc. logic to comb through).
Last thing to do is write up a generic form builder class to assemble my
form pages, but that may be more work than necessary -- K-rist, webwork is
messy business ;--)
Clues, Opinions, etc. are welcome.
TIA,
--Noah

Hi Martins, Of course. You can alter it you want.

The problem is that JavaScript uses UTF-16, so you
either have to store the cookie as UTF-16 or do your
own UTF-8 decoding in JavaScript.
For example, consider the string "åäö", containing
the three funny characters in the Swedish language
(åäö). These characters are encoded
as in UTF-8, and PHP stores these
in the cookie as:
%C3%A5%C3%A4%C3%B6
Example:
--
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
UTF-8 flavoured cookies
document.write(document.cookie);
--
The unescape() function in JavaScript converts
these characters to the Unicode code points
<00c3 00a5 00c3 00a4 00c3 00b6> which, of course,
is not what you want.
Example:
--
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
UTF-8 flavoured cookies
var s = unescape(document.cookie);
var t = "";
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
var c = s.charCodeAt(i);
t += c < 128 ? String.fromCharCode(c) : c.toString(16) + " ";
}
document.write(t);
--
While there are no doubt better ways to solve this,
you /could/ use the unescape() function to convert the
percent-encoded characters to unicode code point, and
then write your own UTF-8 decoder to do the rest.
Example:
(This is an old C function hammered into JavaScript
shape. It is likely to be a horrible implementation
in JavaScript. The error checking adds a bit of bloat.
Note that the utf_8_decode function supports the full
Unicode range, while JavaScript doesn't. )
