Question 2 [14]
Study the code below and answer the questions that follow:

<form action="process.php" method="post">

2.2 Write PHP code to calculate the number of New Year’s resolutions (check boxes) selected by the
user. Display the name (entered in the text field) and the calculated number of resolutions using an
echo statement. Use the variables declared in 2.1. (5)

2.3 The form is incomplete if the user name is empty or if none of the checkboxes is selected when it is
submitted. If the form is incomplete, display a message, Incomplete Form – All Fields
Required. Use the variables declared in 2.1 to check whether the form is incomplete. (5)

Question 3 [20]
Consider a SQL database diploma with a table named modules. The modules table has the
following columns:

- code, which is the primary key of the table for storing unique 7 character module codes
- name, which stores module names
- lecturer, which stores the names of the primary lecturers for the modules

Assume that the modules database table has been populated with the following information:
ICT2612 Interactive Programming Mrs C van Staden
ICT2613 Internet Programming Mrs A Thomas
ICT3612 Advanced Internet Programming Mrs P Le Roux

3.1 Assume that a database connection is established using a PDO object named $db. Write the
necessary code to extract all the data in the modules database table. By using the echo statement
display each row in the database table in a new line in a comma-separated format. (8)

3.2 Assume that a database connection is established using a PDO object named $db. Write the
necessary PHP code to add a row of data in the modules database table. Assume that the module
code, module name and lecturer name are stored in the variables $nCode, $nName and
$nLecturer respectively. (8)

the lecturer of an existing module code in the modules database table. Assume that the module code
and the lecturer’s name are stored in variables. (2)

3.4 Write one line of PHP code to assign a variable $query to a query statement to delete a row of
data for the specified module code from the modules database table. Assume that the module code is
stored in a variable. (2)

Question 4 [20]

Refer to the code fragment below to answer questions 4.1 and 4.2:

if ($mark >= 75)

$result = "++";
else if ($mark >=50 && $mark <= 74)
$result = "+";
else if ($mark >=40 && $mark <=49)
$result = "*";
else if($mark < 40)
$result = '-';
