Or something like this?
SELECT * FROM `Bible_trivia` WHERE answer=`answer`;
Then match the results to trivia_answer_1 in php to see if correct.
if($trivia_answer_1 == $results) {
... do this
}
or a switch
switch ($results) {
case $trivia_answer_1:
... do this
Heh,
Thanks Karthik. Not my post.. :)
But your solution looks dead on..
Here you go Ron. Try this one.
Best,

In my Bible_Trivia table I have the columns
`trivia_answer_1`, `trivia_answer_2`, `trivia_answer_3`, `trivia_answer_4`,
`answer`
`answer` is an integer always with a value of 1 to 4. Is there a way to use the
value of `answer` to only select the correct trivia answer?
This doesn’t work, but

Hi
In Oracle (and maybe others) you can use
select case
when answer=1
then trivia_answer_1
when answer=2
then trivia_answer_2
when answer=3
then trivia_answer_3
when answer=4
then trivia_answer_4
else null
end answer
from bible_trivia_table
OR
You can select all of them and process in PHP,
select casehttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/control-flow-functions.html
works in mysql also
