I am looking to create a sort of compatibility tester in PHP

Post by Doctor-Eggman »

You know something that with the selected answers will calculate someone's compatibility score with another person. I am having a little trouble even doing this part.

Another part is I wanted to make it so that one person fills it out, then emails it to another person and they fill it out and it measures the comparability by meshing up the two sets of answers. Is this even possible. I am a Php beginner and so confused and frustrated. If anyone can give me ANY help at all. I really mean ANY I will be great full for the rest of my lift.

Please and thank you!

You need to work that part out in a non-php way first. How to calculate that depends entirely on how much weight you want to put on different factors. Work out the formulas you want and then we can help you figure it out in PHP.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, please clarify. But it sounds like you need to work out the idea a little better before attempting to learn the programming necessary to accomplish it. Make sure you know WHAT you want accomplished first.

Are you matching on 29 Dimensions® of Compatibility???
