Detailed Description

Stores one step in a {.

See also
question_attempt}.

The most important attributes of a step are the state, which is one of the {

See also
question_state} constants, the fraction, which may be null, or a number bewteen the attempt's minfraction and maxfraction, and the array of submitted data, about which more later.

A step also tracks the time it was created, and the user responsible for creating it.

The submitted data is basically just an array of name => value pairs, with certain conventions about the to divide the variables into five = 2 x 2 + 1 categories.

Variables may either belong to the behaviour, in which case the name starts with a '-', or they may belong to the question type in which case they name does not start with a '-'.

Second, variables may either be ones that came form the original request, in which case the name does not start with an _, or they are cached values that were created during processing, in which case the name does start with an _.

In addition, we can store 'metadata', typically only in the first step of a question attempt. These are stored with the initial characters ':_'.

That is, each name will start with one of '', '_', '-', '-_' or ':_'. The remainder of the name was supposed to match the regex [a-z][a-z0-9]* - but this has never been enforced. Question types exist which break this rule. E.g. qtype_combined. Perhpas now, an accurate regex would be [a-z][a-z0-9_:]*.

These variables can be accessed with {

See also
get_behaviour_var()} and {
get_qt_var()},
  • to be clear, ->get_behaviour_var('x') gets the variable with name '-x' - and values whose names start with '_' can be set using {
set_behaviour_var()} and {
set_qt_var()}. There are some other methods like {
has_behaviour_var()} to check wether a varaible with a particular name is set, and {
get_behaviour_data()} to get all the behaviour data as an associative array. There are also {
get_metadata_var()}, {
set_metadata_var()} and {
has_metadata_var()},

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

question_attempt_step::__construct ( $data = array(),
$timecreated = null,
$userid = null,
$existingstepid = null )

You should not need to call this constructor in your own code.

Steps are normally created by {

See also
question_attempt} methods like {
question_attempt\process_action()}.
Parameters
array$datathe submitted data that defines this step.
int$timestampthe time to record for the action. (If not given, use now.)
int$useridthe user to attribute the aciton to. (If not given, use the current user.)
int$existingstepidif this step is going to replace an existing step (for example, during a regrade) this is the id of the previous step we are replacing.
