It's using flash, not PHP, for the actual typing section.

yes i know ,that's why i am asking
if you could do it in php

[Revolt]

Well, there's no need for php here since there's no actual need to communicate with the server while typing.

You can replicate that widget with javascript. You keep a list of the words then watch for keydown events and compare them to the next letter that should have been input. If it is correct then you add a specific style to that character (afaik the only way to do this would be for every character to be in a different <span> and then you attribute it a class="correct", for example, and use CSS to style). Else you display a message in a div saying that is incorrect.

You can check out the javascript code of this site:

still waitting

I've already given you an idea of how you may be able to implement a character by character styling by using a span for each letter. I've also shown you a site from where you can base your javascript code. I won't do the project for you...

Try it first yourself then come back to us if you find any problems.

The greatest thing about programming is finding out how to do something you want. By the little time between me showing you the site and you asking that question, I doubt you have given it much thought.

The only way you could do this with PHP would be through AJAX which would still require JS. Its not to amazing I tried doing it like it sad and failed, now I'm typing regularly it sure is easier!
Also I find forming regular words is far faster!
