I am having trouble finding where my error is... I created a quiz and the page below is the page that yields the results of the graded quiz. I have been starring at it for several hours and just cannot find where I have stumbled up... anyone with fresh eyes that would like to give a look, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

You're missing a $ from each section:-

echo " Question 1: An important first step in designing a Web site is to: ";

if (Q1 == "X") {

echo " You skipped this question.";

$thescore = $thescore - 3;

} elseif ($Q1 == $A1) {

echo " That's correct!";

} else {

echo " Your answer was $_POST['Q1'] Sorry that is incorrect. The correct answer is $A1.";

$thescore = $thescore - 3;

}

error_reporting(E_ALL); would have alerted you to a 'presumed constant' error and given an example, from there you would have found this error in 2 mins flat!!
