Hi,

Can ne one tell me how to generate PHP files dynamically.

What do you mean, create new php files on the disk automatically ?

No,

I have doubt in this code...

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['flag']=='0') /* Previously I have set $_SESSION['flag']as 0 in some file and I am calling this file from that file*/
{
$i='0';
$assno=$_POST['assignno'];
$totques=$_POST["totques"];
session_register("assno");
session_register("totques");
session_register("i");
$_SESSION["i"]=$i;
$_SESSION["assno"]=$assno;
$_SESSION["totques"]=$totques;
$qno=$_POST["qno"];

$link=mysql_connect('localhost')or die("unable to connect");
$db=mysql_select_db("test",$link)or die("Unable to Select");

$ass="assignment".$assno;
$query1="CREATE TABLE assignments(assignno VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,qno VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,subqno VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,qtext VARCHAR(200),startdate date,start time,enddate date,endtime time,timeinterval time,maxsub int(4),nooverwrites int(2),ncurrsub int(3),ntestcases int(2),marks int(3) ,PRIMARY KEY(assignno,qno,subqno));";
mysql_query($query1);

$query2="INSERT INTO assignments(assignno) VALUES('$ass')";
$resource=mysql_query($query2);
$_SESSION['flag']='1';
}
else
{
/* I have to store the values entered by the user into some database */
}
?>
<?php
for(;$_SESSION["i"]<$_SESSION['totques'];$_SESSION["i"]=$_SESSION["i"]+1) /* Can I give like this */
/*Actually I want to generate the pages the $_SESSION["totques"] no;of times */
{
?>
<html>

You could replace :
<?php for(;$_SESSION["i"]<$_SESSION['totques'];$_SESSION["i"]=$_SESSION["i"]+1) {
?>

<?php } ?>

with :
<?php for($i = $_SESSION["i"]; $i < $_SESSION['totques']; $i++) : ?>

<?php endfor; ?>

That won't fix anything, but it is more readable to me.
Also I don't get what you expect by looping the html part... As the result will be in one page, so why open and close <html> markup in each loop iteration ?

Hi Cedrik,

My $_SESSION['totques'] is the number of questions....

For each question I want a fresh page.

For the first time the html page is displayed .. and if I click the submit button

I should get the second page and like so on until we get $_SESSION['totques'] question pages....

try :

PHP Code:



<?php 
session_start(); 
// init counter 
if(! session_is_registered("count") ) { 
    session_register( "count" ); 
    $_SESSION["count"] = 0; 
} 
... 
... 
... 
if( $_SESSION["count"] == $_SESSION["totques"] ) { 
    echo "last page"; 
 
} else { 
    $_SESSION["count"] ++; 
} 
?> 
<html> 
... 
</html>
