Is it possible to create a Yes No quiz that will total the number of Yes answers and give a total on the page that shows when the submit button is clicked? Something like 10 yes means blah blah blah?

Hi,

Yes and no.....

FormMail can derive fields from other field values. So, you can create an ever-increasing string of 1's or something for every Yes answer, for example. And then do something with that. But, that's probably a lot more complicated and hard to understand than doing actual arithmetic.

FormMail, by itself, can't do actual arithmetic.

To do arithmetic, you need to do it on the client side with JavaScript (and reject the people who don't have JS enabled in their browsers), or do it with some programming on the server side.

You can the server side stuff with some PHP and use FormMail's Hook System, or you can buy our FormMail Computation Module and do it within FormMail itself.

In all cases of doing actual arithmetic, you need some sort of programmer to do the work. You can hire me if you don't know any other programmers.

Thank you for your reply Russell. I suspected that it would involve some sort of programming. I will get back with you if the owner of the site really wants to go in this direction.

Thanks
