[running PHP from the command line]

In Linux, you use the -f flag to specify a file.

Not necessary to use flags to create a file:
$ /usr/local/bin/run.php > file.html
will create your file. Just use >> to keep appending from different
sources. [...]

I was going by the PHP manual, which, unlike the Windows version of the
preprocessor, specifies the -f flag. It's probably out-of-date or
inaccurate, but I couldn't test it[1].

Which would be a crummy solution as the answers would be clearly visible
by just viewing the page source.

Who said anything about cheating?

By your reckoning it is impossible to do it client-side in any
programming language without string encryption.

Come to think of it, who said the answers were client side anyways? The
OP just asked for something that "will generate a page displaying 50
random questions" - nothing about answers or checking if input is
correct. For all we know, Clippy might just want the selected options to
be printed out for marking later.

That would be great, as and when you can. Many thanks for the assistance.

It's not exactly what you wanted, which is doable, but this is more fun I
think.

Cheers,
Jeff
