I working on installing a custom form into a site. Goal is to output form results on page.

What I have done so far.
1) added the custom form to /blocks/external_form/form

2) Added to form: <form action="<?php echo $this->action('quiz_results')?>" method="post">

3)Changed the Class in the controller and gave my fuction a custom name to match the form action:
class MoneyQuizExternalFormBlockController extends BlockController {

public function action_quiz_results() {

$this->set('response', t('Thanks!'));
return true;

}

}
now here is where my php knowledge falls short.

The results are listed as such:
$innocent = 0;
if ($_POST['anxious'] == 'yes')
$innocent++;
if ($_POST['trusting'] == 'yes')
$innocent++;
if ($_POST['feels_powerless'] == 'yes')
$innocent++;

etc...

I don't know how to convert that to what c5 can read.
I think this link is what I am looking for, but unsure how to use :

Any help appreciated.
