$_session value counter

I have a quiz where by results are sent using session like this to result.php page

    {
        $_SESSION['result'] = 'Correct Answer!';
    }else{
        $_SESSION['result'] = 'Wrong Answer!';
    }

on the session.php page i would like a counter which counts all 'correct answer!' and 'wrong answer!' . eventually im also trying to figure the arithmetic to display a percentage of correct and wrong results and overall score based on this counter..

any suggestions?

Counters initialization (may be performed every time before stepping):

if(!isset($_SESSION['correctAnswers'])
    $_SESSION['correctAnswers'] = 0;
if(!isset($_SESSION['wrongAnswers'])
    $_SESSION['wrongAnswers'] = 0;

Counters stepping:

if(...) {
    $_SESSION['result'] = 'Correct Answer!';
    $_SESSION['correctAnswers'] += 1;
}else{
    $_SESSION['result'] = 'Wrong Answer!';
    $_SESSION['wrongAnswers'] += 1;
}

Score:

$correctAnswers = $_SESSION['correctAnswers'];
$totalAnswers = $_SESSION['wrongAnswers'] + $correctAnswers;
if($totalAnswers > 0)
    $score = $correctAnswers / ($totalAnswers) * 100;
else 
    $score = 0;

Isn't this just a simple case of wanting to store the number of questions answered and the number of questions answered correctly?

If so the the percentage of correct answers is ($correctCount / $totalCount) * 100
