That solves my problem for the confirmation message, but still having a hard time wrapping my head around how to total the winning value. Any ideas? I'm interested in having 3 types of emotions. Each emotion would have a value, say - happy, mad, and sad. If I have 10 questions, I want to total the amount of times each emotion is selected and then display the winning emotion and message. Please help! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counting-responses#post-43485 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:50:07 +0000 David Smith 43485@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi CW,</p> <p>This hook is a good place to start:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_confirmation" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_confirmation</a></p> <p>This hook passes the $entry which contains all of the selected values.

I couldn't tell from your last message if the issue was totally resolved. I hope it is and we're on the same page now. I see how you're using questions and the answers will use colors as values, which you will count.</p> <p>Will there possibly be an unknown number of values (so, maybe more than a fixed number of colors? Maybe there are 6 colors, but tomorrow you find a new question and have to add purple or something? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/counting-responses#post-34279 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 17:21:21 +0000 gwc_wd 34279@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just went over your code. <a href="http://pastebin.com/uz7VX2NP" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/uz7VX2NP</a></p> <p>It is certainly getting me trying to learn to code because it feels like it's right there.</p> <p>I need operations to count each Case.<br /> So would it be like this:</p> <pre><code>switch($valuename) { case red: $redcount++ case blue: $bluecount++</code></pre> <p>I have to tell you I am learning a lot from your help here and to others.

Here, you need to do something slightly different. You want to count the total number of times each answer is given (so, number of blue, number of green, number of red.)</p> <p>Do you have 10 questions, and each question can only have one of three possible colors, or was that a simplified example? Please post exactly what you need to accomplish and I can work up an example for you. </p>
