Hi all !
I have a website trying to help South Americans to learn english for free.
I want a very simple kind of script, I've been trying to work out how to do it myself but I simply can't.

It should just store about 20 words and their spanish translation. Eg:
red = rojo
green = verde
etc

Then, the visitor types their answer into a text box, and it goes to the next word, until the end when it tells them - you got 14 / 20 right, and resets. Maybe it could even say which words they got wrong. Is this simple? For how much would someone do it.. ?

Thanks a lot !

sounds very simple,

All you need is a database full of words and their translation, then have a simple script to select 20 of them when the user submits it matches them against the translations in the database if they match it tells it.

I can do this really easily, send me a PM.

Sounds to me like you need a simple if and count.
So in your case, it should be:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Start by putting some variables that I'll edit.
$correctcount = 0; // The correct count.
$wrongcount = 0; // The correct count.

$string = 'What the user typed'; // what the user put.

$word[0] = 'red'; $answer[0] = 'rojo'; $returned_answer[0] = 'What they put'; // Words, with answers
$word[1] = 'green'; $answer[1] = 'verde'; $returned_answer[1] = 'What they put';

foreach($word as $key => $value){ // Go through questions and compare answers.
if($returned_answer[$key] == $answer[$key]){
echo "Correct! $value is the same as: $answer[$key]";
$correctcount = $correctcount + 1; // Add to correct counts.
} else {
echo "Wrong :( $value is not: $returned_answer[$key], it is $answer[$key]";
$wrongcount = $wrongcount + 1;// Add to wrong counts.
}
}

echo "You got $correctcount out of ".$correctcount+$wrongcount;  // Say the score.

?>

Above it almost exactly what you needed.

Though, you would need to input all the translations yourself into that array.

^ what he said will work but if would be a bit inflexible. so you would have to manually edit it every time you changed/edited/added/removed a word.

i will explain what i can do etc in the PM
