I have no idea where to start on this! I have an array containing questions and an array containing the four multiple choices for those questions. So I need $all_questions[0] = array ($all_choices[0], $all_choices[1], $all_choices[2], $all_choices[3]). I need it to go through the whole array and set 4 choices to each question. Can someone give me atleast a little tip on this. Right now I just have it printing a random question.
