This is nice Trivia Quiz program using XML, XSLT and PHP. The XML is transformed and displayed as HTML using XSLT. Then the submitted answers are handled by PHP. Nice coding. Will help those who want to know the power of these three.

One more thing, in the XSL file, if you add this line in first section <xsl:for-each select="questions/question[2]"> then it will display only 2nd number question. No need to parse by PHP.

I hope you would like it and vote for me.
