It looks like you are having a little trouble with your if else statements. Give the code below a try :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <title> Grade Point Converter </title>
  2. </head>
  3. <body>
  4. <h1>Use the form below to work out your grade point</h1>
  5. <br>
  6. <form method="post" action=" <?echo $_SERVER[ "PHP_SELF" ]?>">
  7. Grade:
