In future if you post a question, just saying what is wrong or help me.. isn't the correct way to ask question it gives people no information.. I had to go to the quiz and go through the process to see where it was going wrong..

In any case

<input type="hidden" name='<?php $_POST["order_id"] ?>' value="order-id">

is wrong... you just have to switch name= & value=..
