Jubs2U Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I'm a beginner with PHP, I'm working on an online class project. I have written a "quiz" and I have to follow up with an answer page. I have it written but when the score button is selected and my answer page appears, it appears in code. Can someone please look at it and tell me what is wrong. ???

PC Nerd Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 number of things that might effect. um, you havent closed your php tages. your function is empty, containing or doing nothing, and not being called so why have it there? also, im not sure whether or not your ifs etc should have theire braces and semicolons, i alwasy do no matter what for readability. also, the meta tagsa and stuff at the top may be causeing the oage fo simply read as html or sml, and ignoging "foreign" tages such as php have a look into it sorry i cant find an instant error Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46088-noobie-help/#findComment-224139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabiyau Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 echo "<p>Question 1: ", $_GET["question1"]; Should be echo "<p>Question 1:" . $_GET["question1"]; [/quote] And so on for all your similar echo statements. As far as I know anyway, I don't think you can separate echo blocks by comma's. And what the previous poster said, a function won't do anything unless you call it later on the page somewhere Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46088-noobie-help/#findComment-224195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 echo "<p>Question 5: ", $_GET["question5"]; if ($_GET["question5"] =="c") echo " (Correct!)</p>"; else echo " (Incorrect)</p>"; </body> </html> Where are you terminating the PHP code? Should be: echo "<p>Question 5: ", $_GET["question5"]; if ($_GET["question5"] =="c") echo " (Correct!)</p>"; else echo " (Incorrect)</p>"; ?> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46088-noobie-help/#findComment-224199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
