please i need help on this i am trying to echo HTML form in php script but i am having a logical error, the html checkbox control displays first before the variable $Question displays i dont understand why.

this is my code

<form action = "calculateResult.php" method = "post">
<?php

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","online_ exam");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM question");
//$AnsResult = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM answers");

$i = 1;
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$i = $i + 1;
$question = $row['Quest'];
print("$question");
echo '<br/>';
$Q1 = $row['answer1'];
$Q2 = $row['answer2'];
$Q3 = $row['answer3'];
$Q4 = $row['answer4'];

echo '<input type = "checkbox" value = "hi" name = "answers"/>'.$Q1;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q2;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q3;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q4;
echo '<br/>';

}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
<input type = "submit" value = "SUBMIT"/>
</form>





this statement print("$question"); is suppose to execute before this other statements but the echo '<input type = "checkbox" value = "hi" name = "answers"/>'.$Q1; execute before the print("$question"); statement that is what i mean
echo '<input type = "checkbox" value = "hi" name = "answers"/>'.$Q1;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q2;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q3;
echo '<br/>';
echo '<input type = "checkbox">'.$Q4;
echo '<br/>';
#programming #echo #form #html #php #script
  • Because you are echo'ing out the checbbox input before the question


    echo $Q1.'<input type = "checkbox">';


    The questions you are asking are insanely simple (looking at your other question as well). Your script is broken in many other ways as well, learn some PHP (it's simple, i promise) before asking too many more question.

  • Not really sure what you are saying the problem is. Here is a good resource: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
  • Are you sure the data in the table "question" is correct?
  • Why are you mixing print and echo? There doesn't seem to be any reason for this. See this comment in the documentation.
  • I believe what you are saying is that for some reason print("$question"); prints after all of the rest. This would occur when the $row['Quest'] is null. So, during the first loop there is nothing inside of it to print. After, it goes into the loop again and prints out whatever is in the array.

    Otherwise, supply some more data so we can figure out what is going on.
  • Created example for you here:
    [PHP] <?php $questions = array( 'question1' => array( 'answer1' => - Pastebin.com

    Create array of returned MySql data and it should work.
