How to retrieve detailed quiz data when reporting to local server

Hi,

My company is considering buying Adobe Captivate to be able to create quiz's that will integrate with a custom system already built.

http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/08/reporting-the-quiz-results-to-a-local-server.html This article shows how to access basic quiz data using php - just the score, maxscore, questions correct, number of questions, accuracy, and number of attempts.

But we need much more information than this - for example - we need to be able to access what each question actually is (i.e. the text of each question), and the user's answer to each question. General variables like 'total score' just don't provide enough detailed information for the quiz data to be useful.

Is there anyway to get at this data? (other posts mention an xml file captivate generates for each quiz - but it is unclear what data is stored here, and if it's available outside an LMS)

Is there anyway to get at this data using php like outlined in the above tutorial?

I would appreciate any information as it means the difference of if we can go ahead with purchasing Captivate - or if we need to find another solution.

Thanks,

Lauren O'Donovan

There is a widget you could use to report full data as a custom pdf report, so it must be possible. A trial version of the widget is available so you could try it out an see if it does what you want it to before you shell out the $70 for a single developer license:
