Develop online examination system using php and Websocket

Title: Using PHP and Websocket to develop an online examination system

Introduction:
With the rapid development of the Internet, traditional education methods are gradually being replaced by online education . As an important part of online education, the online examination system is favored by educators and students for its convenience, speed, and real-time characteristics. This article will introduce how to use PHP and Websocket to develop a simple and practical online examination system, and provide specific code examples.

1. System requirements analysis
Before starting development, we first need to clarify the system requirements. The following is a simple demand analysis:

1. User registration and login: Both students and teachers need to register and log in to the system.
2. Test question management: Teachers can upload test questions and add, delete, modify and check test questions.
3. Test arrangement: Teachers can create exams and set exam time, exam subjects, etc.
4. Exam monitoring: Teachers can monitor the status of students during the exam in real time and send notifications.
5. Student exam: Students can take the exam online, and the system needs to time and submit their answer sheets in real time.
6. Score query: Both students and teachers can query test scores.

2. System design and implementation

1. Technical selection
   Considering that the online examination system requires real-time communication, we chose to use PHP as the back-end language. And uses Websocket protocol for communication.
2. Database Design
   We first design the structure of the database and define the student table, teacher table, question table, exam table and score table to implement user management, question management, exam arrangement and score query functions.
3. Back-end development
   Use PHP to write back-end code to realize functions such as user registration and login, test question management, test arrangement, test monitoring, student test and score query. The following is some examples of back-end code:

• User registration and login

  <?php
  function registerUser($username, $password) {
  // 将用户名和密码存入数据库
  }
  
  function loginUser($username, $password) {
  // 验证用户名和密码是否正确
  }
  ?>

• Question management

  <?php
  function addQuestion($question, $answer) {
  // 将试题和答案存入数据库
  }
  
  function deleteQuestion($questionId) {
  // 从数据库中删除指定的试题
  }
  
  function getQuestions() {
  // 从数据库中获取所有试题
  }
  ?>

• Exam arrangement

  <?php
  function createExam($subject, $time) {
  // 创建考试，并将考试信息存入数据库
  }
  
  function getExams() {
  // 从数据库中获取所有考试
  }
  ?>

• Exam monitoring

  <?php
  function monitorExam($examId) {
  // 监控指定考试的学生状态，发送通知
  }
  ?>

• Student exam

  <?php
  function startExam($examId, $studentId) {
  // 开始考试，记录开始时间
  }
  
  function submitExam($examId, $studentId, $answers) {
  // 提交答卷，计算得分并存入数据库
  }
  ?>

• Score Query

  <?php
  function getGrade($studentId) {
  // 查询指定学生的所有考试成绩
  }
  
  function getGradeByExam($examId) {
  // 查询指定考试的所有学生成绩
  }
  ?>

##Front-end development
4. Use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to write front-end code to achieve user interface design and interaction. The front-end code includes user login and registration interface, test question management interface, test arrangement interface, test monitoring interface, student test interface and score query interface, etc. Specific examples are omitted here.
   

3. Summary

This article introduces the method of developing a simple and practical online examination system using PHP and Websocket, and provides specific code examples. The development of online examination systems is of great significance to improving teaching efficiency and learning experience. I hope this article can provide some reference for readers. At the same time, readers can expand and optimize the system according to their own needs to make it more consistent with actual application scenarios.
