PHP elseif statement not working

I am currently developing a website with wordpress that uses FSQM Pro quiz plugin. The plugin uses the format string %DESIGNATION% to show the ranking that the user obtained on completing the quiz.

I am trying to write some php that will output different text depending on the ranking that the user reaches but for some reason it just outputs nothing. My code is below, can anyone help?

This bit of code is in a seperate php file $format_string_components = $this->get_format_string();

<?php
$a="Ranking 1";
$b="Ranking 2";
$c="Ranking 3";
$d="Ranking 4";

if ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $a) {
    echo 'text 1';

} elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $b) {
    echo 'text 2';

} elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $c) {
    echo 'text 3';

} elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $d) {
    echo 'text 4'; 

} else {
    echo '<p>Your result was not found.</p>';
}
?>

change the quote (") and remove space from 

<? php

Code Use it:

<?php
    $a="Ranking 1";
    $b="Ranking 2";
    $c="Ranking 3";
    $d="Ranking 4";

    if ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $a) {
        echo "text 1";
    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $b) {
        echo "text 2";
    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $c) {
        echo "text 3";
    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $d) {
        echo "text 4"; 
    } else {
        echo "<p>Your result was not found.</p>";
    }
?>

Change “ to ". Remove the space <? php

<?php
    $a="Ranking 1";
    $b="Ranking 2";
    $c="Ranking 3";
    $d="Ranking 4";

    if ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $a) {
        echo "text 1";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $b) {
        echo "text 2";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $c) {
        echo "text 3";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $d) {
        echo "text 4"; 

    } else {
        echo "<p>Your result was not found.</p>";
    }
?>

<?php

    $a="Ranking 1";
    $b="Ranking 2";
    $c="Ranking 3";
    $d="Ranking 4";

    if ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $a) {
        echo 'text 1';

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $b) {
        echo 'text 2';

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $c) {
        echo 'text 3';

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $d) {
        echo 'text 4'; 

    } else {
        echo '<p>Your result was not found.</p>';
    }

It is not working due to the quotes you have used. Change the quotes to " ". Like

if ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $a) {
        echo "text 1";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $b) {
        echo "text 2";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $c) {
        echo "text 3";

    } elseif ($format_string_components['%DESIGNATION%'] == $d) {
        echo "text 4"; 

    } else {
        echo "<p>Your result was not found.</p>";
    }

Also avoid the space in the <?php tag.
