This also works with the ternary operator... I don't think it likes the ++ because it
doesn't know the type yet.
<?php
$numtoguess=42;
$num_tries = isset($_POST['num_tries'])?$_POST['num_tries']+1:0;
$message="";
if(!isset($_POST['guess']))
$message="Welcome to the guessing machine";
elseif ($_POST['guess'] < $numtoguess)
$message="Your guess was too low.";
elseif ($_POST['guess'] > $numtoguess)
$message="Your guess was too high.";
else
$message="That is the correct number.";
if(isset($_POST['guess']))
$guess=(int)$_POST['guess'];
else
$guess=0;
print_r($_POST);
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1>
<?php print $message ?>
</H1>
Guess number: <?php print $num_tries ?>
<FORM METHOD="post">
Type your guess here:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE ="text" NAME="guess" VALUE="<?php print $guess ?>">
<INPUT TYPE ="hidden" NAME="num_tries" VALUE="<?php print $num_tries ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="submit it!">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
