RE: [phpesp-general] need to modify the rating function

[Hagemeister, F. <HAG...@Gr...>]

I wanted to do the same thing, i.e., add the ability to have labels for
the rating scales (aka Likert scales).  Unlike what Don shows in his
post, I tend to see the labels (whether for just the extremes or each
rating) above the values: like this:

            Unfamiliar          Familiar
            -3   -2   -1   0   1   2   3
             o    o    o   o   o   o   o

In a survey project by committee (ugh!), I had to find a way to have
scale labels.  Although I love phpESP, after I looked through the tables
and code, I decided it was easier to go with UCCASS instead of phpESP,
even though I had to hack UCCASS a little bit to do other things that I
like in phpESP (especially user management and the type of support for
rating scale questions).

I would be very grateful if rating scale labels could be added to
phpESP.
