I have tried it like this,

 

<?php
if($points==0 && $answer=="me"){
setcookie("points", "1", time()+3600);
$points ++;
echo "CORRECT";
}
if($points == 0 && $answer !="me"){
echo "Incorrect - Please try again";
}
?>

 

however when i enter "me" it runs both of these saying CORRECTIncorrect - Please tr again

how can it be True and False?

 

Whats wrong with this statement. [/code]

That's impossible with just that code.

<?php
if($points==0 && $answer=="me"){
setcookie("points", "1", time()+3600);
$points ++;
echo "CORRECT";
}

if($points==1 && $answer=="reading"){
setcookie("points", "2", time()+3600);
$points ++;
echo "CORRECT";
}

if($points==2 && $answer=="q2"){
setcookie("points", "3", time()+3600);
$points ++;
echo "CORRECT";
}


if($points==0 && $answer !="me"){
echo "Incorrect - Please try again";
}
if($points==1 && $answer !="reading"){
echo "Incorrect - Please try again";
}
if($points==2 && $answer !="q2"){
echo "Incorrect - Please try again";
}
?>

 

If you enter it incorrectly it says incorrect however if you enter "me" correctly it says correct and incorrect if you enter "reading" correctly it says correct and incorrect however if you enter "q2" correctly it just says correct. Anyone know why this is?

Fixed,

 

It was to do with the order, Needed the != statements first as the == statements change the points and make the != statements not match.
