How to enable PHP code for randomization

Question

Hello,
I am conducting an academic study using vignette randomization, and I need to activate PHP code functionality for random assignment (e.g., group = random(1,9);). I am not able to click the PHP code button.
Could you please enable PHP for my project?
Thank you!

Answer 1

There is no button :)

Please read this manual on how to use PHP code: Introduction to PHP

Also, do not use random() please, but a random generator instead. We have a detailed manual on randomization - give it a try.

General note on the use of AI tools: Your question indicates that you may have asked ChatGPT or another tool for a solution instead of reading the instructions. Know, that ChatGPT has not read the SoSci Survey manual, either. Therefore, ChatGPT is essentially just giving you hallucinations on how to use SoSci Survey. If you want to work with generative AI: Gemini at least knows the instructions for SoSci Survey. Please note, however, that even then the answers from generative AI are only correct with a chance of approx. 65%.
