Hidden type input values not being passed in php

Problem was solved by changing

<input type="hidden" value="Is the sun hot or cold?" name="realquestion" id="realquestion">
            <input type="hidden" value="hot" name="realanswer" id="realanswer">

to

<input type="hidden" value="Is the sun hot or cold?" name="realquestion" id="realquestion" **/>**
            <input type="hidden" value="hot" name="realanswer" id="realanswer" **/>**

And not getting tripped up by browser caching.
