so for a class assignment we are using HTML and PHP to make a form that asks a user to input two (2) numbers and to choose between addition, subtraction, multiplication or division form using radio buttons, THEN to input a guess as to what the answer is. Our assignment is to echo out to the user specifying whether or not their answer is correct or not.
The part where I am having troubles is in the "if" and "else" statements. For example, if I choose 1 and 2 as my numbers, guess 3 and choose addition as my method of calculation, I not only get echoed out "Congratulations! You choose the correct answer of 3!" but i also get my else statements from division, subtraction, and multiplication specifying that I did it incorrectly.
Here's my Code:(keep in mind-- the birthday function has yet to be made.) Also, I'm having difficulties regarding my form validation -- making it so that the user has in fact entered the required fields.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Howdy</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>PHP_SELF</h1>
<?php
//process the form if the submit button was pressed
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//form validation goes here
/////////////////////////////////////////VARIABLES ARE BEING MADE HERE
//simplify the form variables
//later on we will do this in form validation
//create a variable called firstname and store in it
//the value from the POST array for firstname from the form
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
//creating variables for num1 and num2 that user inputed
$num1 = $_POST['num1'];
$num2 = $_POST['num2'];
//creating a variable called sum
//this is for when the user chooses to ADD
//num1 and num2
$sum = $num1 + $num2;
//creating a variable called difference
//this is for when the user chooses to SUBTRACT
//num1 and num2
$difference = $num1 - $num2;
//creating a variable called product
//this is for when the user chooses to MULTIPLY
//num1 and num2
$product = $num1 * $num2;
//creating a variable called quotient
//this is for when the user chooses to DIVIDE
//num1 and num2
$quotient = $num1 / $num2;
//creating a variable called guess and store it in the
//value from the POST array for the guess from the form
$guess = $_POST['guess'];
//creating a variable called birthday and store it in the
//value from the POST array for the user's birthday
$birthday = $_POST['birthday'];
if ($sum == $guess) {
echo "<p>Congratulations $firstname. You answered correctly with $guess.<p>\n";
} else if ($sum != $guess){
echo "<p>$firstname, you answered incorrectly. The correct answer is $sum.</p>\n";
}
if ($difference == $guess) {
echo "<p>Congratulations $firstname. You answered correctly with $guess.<p>\n";
} else if ($difference != $guess){

}
if ($quotient == $guess) {
echo "<p>Congratulations $firstname. You answered correctly with $guess.<p>\n";
} else if ($quotient != $guess){
echo "<p>$firstname, you answered incorrectly. The correct answer is $quotient.</p>\n";
}
} //end of the isset submit conditional statement
//show the form if it is the user's first time her OR if any of the required forms are missing
if(!isset($_POST ['submit']) OR empty($firstname) OR empty($num1) OR empty($num2)) { ?>
<h2>Please fill out the following: </h2>

What did I do wrong? And how can I go about fixing this?
