Time out and submit form

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

I’m building an online examination app
I am having issues on just two parts:

  1. automatically submit the test after 30mins
  2. prevent the time to refresh or be used in multiple browsers Amat the same time

  1. You may add JavaScript in Startup Script to run a timer and submit the form by code,
  2. You may add server event (e.g. Page_Load) to check the user and make sure the form is only submitted once.

In addition, you may actually save the data and time when end-user is opening the test form for that day (assume only one time test for a day).

When he/she is trying to cheat by closing the form and opening it again, let’s say in a few minutes later, then system should recognize the previous date and time that already saved before as the initial time for the test, after that, re-calculate the actual left time he had.

How I submit by code pls any example on documentation ?

You may simply click the submit button. (You need to consider your strategy of form validation which may prevent submitting the form if there are invalid inputs.)

The only issue now is that the exam questions are about 50. creating the table seems too long .
if im going to generate the form from the table. Is there a way to loop the form ? this will allow admin to add exam questions and the questions will be looped in the form .
