PHP Problemos 2009-11-17 18:00:29 Reply

I know HTML and CSS, I just started PHP today. I'm trying to make a quiz for my school, and I'm getting this error. I'm lost. Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Also, It's not really an error.
Instead of echoing what it's supposed to, it echos a bunch of code.
I got this php code off this site, it works fine on the site, but it doesn't work for me.

Damn, the code got all screwed up because of Newgrounds use of html for post styling.

index.html should be index.php.

html extension does not support PHP unless you treat it as PHP in a .htaccess.

You are running this off of a web/virtual server with php like (xampp) correct?

What exactly is the error? I didn't see you posting any error, just correct code. What is happening and what do you expect to happen?

No, I'm testing this all locally. I have PHP installed.

Here's what happens: I fill out the quiz, I the button to continue to the page that should show-

Here is your results
Your coolness score was you are not very cool!

Something along those lines.
But instead it shows:

Here is your results
Your coolness score was ' . $score . '/5

'; if ($score <= 2) echo 'You are not very cool!'; else if ($score == 3) echo 'Congratulations, a perfect score!'; else echo 'Not bad, you scored average'; ?>

I'm not sure where I went wrong, I'm not totally familiar with PHP.

Try changing it to this:

<h1>Here is your results</h1>
 
 <?php
 echo '<b>Your coolness score was ';
 	if ($score <= 2){
 		echo 'You are not very cool!';
 	}else if ($score == 3){
 		echo 'Congratulations, a perfect score!';
 	}else{
 		echo 'Not bad, you scored average';
        }
echo '</b><br><br>';
 ?>

Your coolness score was '; if ($score <= 2){ echo 'You are not very cool!'; }else if ($score == 3){ echo 'Congratulations, a perfect score!'; }else{ echo 'Not bad, you scored average'; } echo '

'; ?>

I tried putting else in it:

if ($_POST['q1'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1
		else
		$score = $score + 0;

But that didn't work either.

Move all of this crap to the body and see if it displays it as well.

<?php
$score = 0;
if ($_POST['q1'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
if ($_POST['q2'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
if ($_POST['q3'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
if ($_POST['q4'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
if ($_POST['q5'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
if ($_POST['q6'] == 'yes')
	$score = $score + 1;
?>

I suspect it will. I don't think you have php set up properly. Your script works fine for me. Someone else asked if you had xampp, you didn't say yes or no, just that you had php installed. You should probably download it if you don't have it. If you do have it, you need to actually start the server and put the php file in the htdocs folder.

Moving it didn't work.
I'm downloading xampp now. Someone told me you could just install php and it would work fine, I didn't think you needed anything else.
