Now no errors, but blank page once 'Get Score' is selected on northcarolina.html. Code is below: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', true); $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } if ($_POST['no1'] =="B") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The American Dogwood is the state flower of NC."; } if ($_POST['no2'] =="false") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "False. The state bird of NC is the cardinal."; } if($_POST['no3'] =="C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Raleigh is the capital of NC."; } if($_POST['no4'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no5'] == "D") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no6'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no7'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Though all of these are mountain ranges, the Appalachians is the only one found in NC."; } if($_POST['no8'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The historical marine base, Cherry Point, is located in the town of Havelock, NC."; } if($_POST['no9'] == "true") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Tobacco is one of the leading industries in NC. Others include chemical products and textiles."; } if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC."; echo" Your score on the All About North Carolina quiz is ".$score; } ?>

I have done a bit more work on the PHP file - I decided to make it simpler by removing all of the HTML. Once I did that, I no longer get the same error, but this error appears instead: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in C:\wamp\www\quizresults.php on line 82 It looks like Line 82 is a couple of lines below the closing tag of the code. After my edits, my code looks like this: <?php phpinfo(); ?> <?php $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } if ($_POST['no1'] =="B") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The American Dogwood is the state flower of NC."; } if ($_POST['no2'] =="false") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "False. The state bird of NC is the cardinal."; } if($_POST['no3'] =="C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Raleigh is the capital of NC."; } if($_POST['no4'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no5'] == "D") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no6'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no7'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Though all of these are mountain ranges, the Appalachians is the only one found in NC."; } if($_POST['no8'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The historical marine base, Cherry Point, is located in the town of Havelock, NC."; } if($_POST['no9'] == "true") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Tobacco is one of the leading industries in NC. Others include chemical products and textiles."; } if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC."; } "Your score on the All About North Carolina quiz is ".$score."; ?> In addition to removing all HTML, I have double-checked that all of my brackets have an open and close. Based on what I have learned so far, everything looks to be consistent, but apparently my browser is expecting something else. Hopefully, I didn't create any more issues with the edits I did, and it is just a simple fix that I don't recognize because I am not yet too familiar with PHP. Does anyone have an idea regarding why I cannot get rid of this error?

Again, I have modified my PHP code to correct what seemed to be the issue by choosing to remove all HTML code. It still seems that I am getting "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\wamp\www\quizresults.php" on line 106, which is contained in this section of code: if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC. "; } echo " Your score on the "All About North Carolina" quiz is ".$score."; foreach($errors as $error) echo $error . "<br />\n"; ?> </HTML> In particular, Line 106 reads: Your score on the "All About North Carolina" quiz is ".$score."; Is anyone able to spot an error that has been made that I am obviously overlooking? I have exhausted the little knowledge of PHP that I have in addition to all of my known resources, but can't seem to get this corrected. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So, I have edited the code for the PHP file once again, and when trying to view it, I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\quizresults.php on line 103. After looking at Line 103, it looks like the only thing that line contains is a piece of code for a paragraph break. I am assuming that this isn't it, but that it lies near the referenced line somewhere. Can someone else spot what the problem might be based on the code below? <?php phpinfo(); ?> <HTML> <h2>'How Much Do You Know About North Carolina?' Quiz Results:</h2> <?php $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } if ($_POST['no1'] =="B") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The <strong>American Dogwood</strong> is the state flower of NC."; } if ($_POST['no2'] =="false") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "False. The state bird of NC is the <strong>cardinal</strong>."; } if($_POST['no3'] =="C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "<strong>Raleigh</strong> is the capital of NC."; } if($_POST['no4'] == "true") { $score += 10; if($_POST['no5'] == "D") { $score += 10; if($_POST['no6'] == "true") { $score += 10; if($_POST['no7'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Though all of these are mountain ranges, the <strong>Appalachians</strong> is the only one found in NC.

"; } <P> <P> echo " <strong>Your score on the "All About North Carolina" quiz is ".$score."</strong> "; foreach($errors as $error) echo $error . "<br />\n"; ?> </HTML> Thanks!

I've finished a rough draft of the PHP page, based on your advice and some other research that I've done online. I believe I must have some things incorrect, because I'm still unable to view the results, but whether or not it's entirely correct, I believe it represents a decent idea of what I'd like to accomplish. Below is the code: <HTML> <h2>'How Much Do You Know About North Carolina?' Quiz Results:</h2> </HTML> <?php $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } If ($no1="B") $score=$score+10; else { echo "The <strong>American Dogwood</strong> is the state flower of NC. "; } If ($no2="false") $score=$score+10; else { echo "False. The state bird of NC is the <strong>cardinal</strong>. "; } If($no3="C") $score=$score+10; else { echo "<strong>Raleigh</strong> is the capital of NC. "; } If($no4="true") $score=$score+10; If($no5="D") $score=$score+10; If($no6="true") $score=$score+10; If($no7="A") $score=$score+10; else { echo "Though all of these are mountain ranges, the <strong>Appalachians</strong> is the only one found in NC. "; } If($no8="A") $score=$score+10; else { echo "The historical marine base, Cherry Point, is located in the town of <strong>Havelock, NC</strong>. "; } If($no9="true") $score=$score+10; else { echo "Tobacco <strong>is</strong> one of the leading industries in NC. Others include chemical products and textiles. "; } If($no10="C") $score=$score+10; else { echo "<strong>Charlotte</strong> is the largest city in NC. "; } <P> <P> <strong>Your score on the "All About North Carolina" quiz is ".$score." "; ?>

Hi Zane, At first, I thought that <br /> was the correct way to enter it, but then again I wasn't sure if it made much difference - regardless, I have corrected that. I looked back over my last post, and it looks like I accidentally left out the line of code that creates my 'Submit' button - sorry about that. I know that the <li> tags will be put on another line, but I entered the <br> to put an additional line between each of the questions so that it wouldn't look so crowded. Is there a better way to do this? I've removed the code for the first form and linked the existing one to quizresults.php. Also, I have completed the code for all of the quiz questions. My final HTML page looks something like this: <html> <head> <title>All About North Carolina!</title> </head> <body bgcolor="lightblue"> <img src=http://www.vincecartersanctuary.org/Portals/61544/images//NCSateFlag.jpg align="right" height="100" width="100" alt="Official Flag of the State of NC"/> <h2>North Carolina</h2> <h3><blockquote>"Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training."</blockquote><br/> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">- NC Governor Beverly Perdue</h3> <P><P><em>Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina? <a href="http://www.state.nc.us"><b>Click here</a></b> to visit the Official Web Site of the State of NC.</em></P></P> <P> <P> <B><blockquote>How well do you know your facts about North Carolina?

I found some code from a couple of websites that suggests how to create the quiz results page, but it doesn't seem that I'm doing it quite right because it doesn't generate correctly. I will continue to work on this and post an update when I have made more progress. In a private message, I will send you a link to both my northcarolina.html page in addition to the attempted work that I have done thus far with quizresults.php.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have worked on the HTML page a bit more, and I have decided to create a quiz on random facts about North Carolina. So far, I have created the code for most of the questions (I believe I will be using about 10, and I have created 7 so far). I also have my 'Submit' button in place. I am now at the stage where I'd like to be able to have the quiz scored automatically. Once the 'Get Score' button is clicked, I want to have the results of the quiz displayed on the PHP page. Below is the code that I have finished so far on the HTML page: <html> <head> <title>All About North Carolina!</title> </head> <body bgcolor="lightblue"> <img src=http://www.vincecartersanctuary.org/Portals/61544/images//NCSateFlag.jpg align="right" height="100" width="100" alt="Official Flag of the State of NC"/> <h2>North Carolina</h2> <h3><blockquote>"Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training."</blockquote><br/> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">- NC Governor Beverly Perdue</h3> <P><P><em>Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina? <a href="http://www.state.nc.us"><b>Click here</a></b> to visit the Official Web Site of the State of NC.</em></P></P> <P> <blockquote>Have you enjoyed the tidbits of information provided here about the Tar Heel State?

When you post code, please put it in between <-- code tags -->

Zane, Below is the HTML coding that I used to create northcarolina.html: <html> <head> <title>All About North Carolina!</title> </head> <body> <img src=http://www.vincecartersanctuary.org/Portals/61544/images//NCSateFlag.jpg align="right" height="100" width="100" alt="Official Flag of the State of NC"/> <h2>North Carolina</h2> <h3><blockquote>"Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training."</blockquote><br/> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">- NC Governor Beverly Perdue</h3> <P><P><em>Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina? <a href="http://www.state.nc.us"><b>Click here</a></b> to visit the Official Web Site of the State of NC.</em></P></P> <body bgcolor="lightblue"> </body> </html> As I mentioned previously, I have only created a fairly simple page so far. EDITed for tags.

Hi everyone! So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated!
