Aha thanks...

Yes $whichscore is a earlier defined variable, via this code:

if ($answer==$ganswer) {
 $whichscore = 'gscore';
}elseif ($answer==$sanswer) {
 $whichscore = 'sscore';
}elseif ($answer==$hanswer) {
 $whichscore = 'hscore';
}else{
 $whichscore = 'rscore';
}

I will try your code, but if it doesn't work, all I can suggest is that the $answer variable is not being intval'ed properly

Thanks - I'll try this
