What I mean is that when you click the submit button on my embedded php online quiz - the page refreshes and shoots up to the top.

What I would like is for the page to stay at exactly the same position.

Can this be done with just php? I was thinking that an anchor link would solve this but am not sure where to place that in the php code.

Another alternative is AJAX which I am useless at....

Thanks for all help with this..

Here is the code: (its an online quiz):

<?
$page_title = "The Simple Quiz Script";
// If the form is submitted run the script
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$quest1 = $_POST['quest1'];
$quest2 = $_POST['quest2'];
$quest3 = $_POST['quest3'];
$quest4 = $_POST['quest4'];
$quest5 = $_POST['quest5'];
// Lets make sure that everything has been submitted
if($quest1 == NULL OR $quest2 == NULL OR $quest3 == NULL OR $quest4 == NULL OR $quest5 == NULL){
$test_complete .='Please complete the quiz! <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go Back</a>';
}else{
// change the quest1 to the right answer
if($quest1 == "3") {
$test_complete .="Question one is <span class='green'>correct</span>, well done!<br/>";
}else{
$test_complete .="Question one is <span class='red'>incorrect</span>!<br/>";
}
// change the quest2 to the right answer
if($quest2 == "2") {
$test_complete .="Question two is <span class='green'>correct</span>, well done!<br/>";
}else{
$test_complete .="Question two is <span class='red'>incorrect</span>!<br/>";
}
// change the quest3 to the right answer
if($quest3 == "1") {
$test_complete .="Question three is <span class='green'>correct</span>, well done!<br/>";
}else{
$test_complete .="Question three is <span class='red'>incorrect</span>!<br/>";
}
// change the quest4 to the right answer
if($quest4 == "3") {
$test_complete .="Question four is <span class='green'>correct</span>, well done!<br/>";
}else{
$test_complete .="Question four is <span class='red'>incorrect</span>!<br/>";
}
// change the quest5 to the right answer
if($quest5 == "2") {
$test_complete .="Question five is <span class='green'>correct</span>, well done!<br/>";
}else{
$test_complete .="Question five is <span class='red'>incorrect</span>!<br/>";
}
// Now lets see if all the questions are correct, this must match the above quest settings
if($quest1 == "3" & $quest2 == "2" & $quest3 == "1" & $quest4 == "3" & $quest5 == "2"){
$test_complete .="<p>Congratulations, you got all the questions correct!</p>";
}else{
// If any of the questions are not correct lets tell them
$test_complete .='<p>Your not there just yet! <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Try again</a></p>';
}}}

you don’t place it in the PHP code, you place it in the HTML code. and the HTML code responsible for the page to load after submit is in the form’s action attribute (which is btw. a required attribute).

So to get the results of the php script at the center of the page I could add an anchor link to the form action like below?

<form action="mypage.php#anchor"> // page must be in the same directory

Would I append the form action to this string?

<form method="post"> so it becomes:

<form method="post" action="mypage.php#anchor">

Thanks

yupp.

bear in mind that omitting the action attribute is invalid (though browsers tend to fix that for you).

You probably don't want to learn AJAX but some time later you may need it. Actually using 10 minutes you can master the JQuery Ajax method. It's a piece of cake. Check out to start with .get() (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/) or to do .post() (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/) . In JQuery AJAX, they do the same stuff. Or if you want to have more control of even the basic stuff, you can then use .ajax (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/) http://www.jensbits.com/2009/10/04/jquery-ajax-and-jquery-post-form-submit-examples-with-php/

Of course you can only use it if you have an understanding of fundamental JQuery stuff.
