How to use PHP to implement an online questionnaire survey system

With the development of the Internet, questionnaires have become a common method of data collection. The online questionnaire system has become the first choice for more and more institutions, companies, organizations and individuals to conduct questionnaire surveys. This article will introduce how to use PHP to implement an online questionnaire system.

1. Determine requirements and design database

Before developing the questionnaire system, we need to first clarify the requirements of the system. Issues that need to be considered include:

• Supported questionnaire forms, such as multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, matrix questions, etc.;
• User information that needs to be collected, such as gender, age, etc.;
• Restrictions on answering questions in the questionnaire, such as whether the answer is required, answering time, etc.;
• The statistics and analysis method of the results.

After determining the needs, we need to design the data tables required for the questionnaire. A basic data table structure can include the following tables:

• User table: stores user information, such as user name, password, email, etc.;
• Questionnaire table: stores questionnaire information , such as questionnaire name, description, release time, etc.;
• Question table: stores question information, such as question name, description, type, etc.;
• Option table: stores option information, such as option text, Score, etc.;
• Answer sheet: stores user answer sheet information, such as answer sheet time, answer sheet score, etc.;
• Answer sheet: stores user answer sheet information, such as answer text, score, etc.

2. Complete the system framework

We can use a basic PHP framework, such as Laravel or Yii, to complete the development of the questionnaire system. In the framework, we need to complete the following core functions:

• User login and registration: Users need to log in or register to participate in the questionnaire survey;
• Questionnaire management: Administrators can add and edit , delete questionnaires, questions and options;
• Questionnaire release: Administrators can publish questionnaires to the system, and users can search for questionnaires through links or system searches;
• Questionnaire answers: Users can target specific Answer the questionnaire, and the system automatically records the answer information;
• Questionnaire result statistics and analysis: The system can automatically generate questionnaire result statistics and analysis reports based on the answer sheet information.

3. Implement core functions:

The following are the key steps to implement the questionnaire system:

• User login and registration

User login and registration are the core functions of the system. The basic user module is provided in the framework, including registration, login and logout. Users need to register and log in to participate in the survey. When a user registers, the system needs to encrypt the password to ensure the security of the user information.

• Questionnaire Management

The administrator can add, edit, and delete questionnaires through the background. When adding a questionnaire, you need to add the basic information of the questionnaire to the questionnaire table, including the name, description, release time and answer deadline of the questionnaire. At the same time, the corresponding question and option information also need to be added to the question table and option table.

• Questionnaire Release

When the administrator releases the questionnaire, the system will automatically insert the questionnaire information into the questionnaire table and prompt the administrator that the release is successful. After the questionnaire is successfully published, users can find the questionnaire through links or system searches and answer the questions.

• Questionnaire Answer

Users need to log in to participate in the questionnaire answer. Users can search and select the questionnaires they are interested in through the system to answer, and complete the answers according to the questionnaire requirements. When the user answers a question, the system needs to record the user's answer information into the answer sheet and answer sheet.

• Questionnaire Result Statistics and Analysis

After the questionnaire is completed, the system needs to automatically generate the questionnaire result statistics and analysis report based on the answer sheet information. Administrators can view and download relevant reports in the background.

4. Implementing system security protection

In the process of implementing the online questionnaire survey system, the security of the system is very important. The system needs to take the following protective measures:

• Prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks;
• Encrypt user passwords;
• Prevent malicious access and attacks, such as DDoS attack;
• Strengthen the management and protection of sensitive information.

In short, using PHP to implement an online questionnaire system is a very challenging and interesting task. Through the above steps, a basic questionnaire survey system can be completed in a short period of time, and necessary optimization and security management can be carried out.
