Creating an online assessment tool

[earl]

I would like to build an online assessment tool. The idea being to ask a list of questions (like in an online survey) on a specific business topic and based upon the answers a recommendation (advice) would be presented as a response to the user. Are there any scripts currently available for this?

Thanks in advance.

Earl, if you want to do this in a browser using Rev, you'll need to do it as a cgi. There is a fine Rev cgi tutorial here:

If you're thinking about a Rev app that connects to a remote server, then there are various ways - you could use sockets, cgis, ftp, etc.

Best,

Thanks Mark, will check out the tutorial. However, I'm not really that knowledgeable about programming, etc. so it may take me some time to figure this stuff out. Been doing some research on creating this tool and I know that there are "expert systems" available, but these seem to cost a bit too much. I know that Runrev.com has some sample scripts, etc. So I was hoping to use something that's already out there and build on/customize it if necessary.
