I am doing this project for a class that involves PHP and I’m off to a good start. What I’m trying to accomplish is create a webpage that is based off the game Mad Gab (here’s a reference for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_gab). My webpage gives the user five problems to try and figure out and forms for typing in their answer. Once their finished they hit the “submit” button and ideally are brought to a page that displays the following in this order: a) the problem as it was presented b) their answer as typed in the forms c) the correct answer. Now the tricky part is that the first page (aka the page where they guess) is randomly generated each time the page is loaded. Each problem is configured to randomly pick from a possible 4 questions. That part I have figured out. The problem is, when the user gets to the answer page, I want the question to be displayed with its corresponding answer (not just a random answer). I tried using a “Switch” statement and cases to try solve this problem, but for some reason it’s not working. Also, the question and answers are written as pure text files and are read using the “Include” statement. What I have figured out is how to randomly generate questions when the user enters the page and I kind of have an idea that when the user hits the submit button, the questions that were choosen need to be sent with as well, so the page knows which answers to display.
For instance:
Question 1
here i am
"submit"
--------(answer page)------
Question 1 - this is named something like Q1 and I believe is sent as hidden input
Your Answer
The Correct Answer - is a switch statement saying that if Q1=1 display this file Q1ans, Q1=2 display Q2ans, etc
Here is the webpage as it stands now:

Here’s my code for the question page**********

Jeremy’s Mad Gab!
Are you ready to play Mad Gab?
Directions: Open the Max/MSP program titled "Audio Talker" and in that program lower the "sensitivity" to 1. Then, size both this window and the "Audio Talker" windows so they sit side by side on your computer screen. Now, click the speaker button in the "Audio Talker" and say one of the phrases listed below. Try to figure out what is actually being said by listening to the playback of your own voice. Type in your answer below the problem and proceed to the next problem and repeat the steps above until your finished all of the problems. Then click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the screen.
