1) Always using long tags (<?php ?>) means that your script will be recognised on machines whaere short tags are turned off 2) The default (from about version 4.2 or something) is for register_globals to be turned off. This is for security reasons. The effect is that giving a form element a name (e.g. <input type ="text" name = "guess" value = "$guess">) means that you cannot access that value via $guess, you have to use $_GET['guess'}. You can set up your own machine with register_globals = On, but in the real world, most sites won't have it. 3) You are choosing a different number each time. You need to save it - hidden input fields are ok but... 4) Your form needs to be method="post" (not the default of "get") since with GET, when you save your number, it will be visible in the address box as number=13 or whatever 5) You need a way to indicate to your script that this is (or isn't) the start of a new game. You could have a separate variable for this or you could use $guesses - i.e. when it is zero, we're starting a new game. 6) You need to initialise your variables. The first time through, the form variables won't be set, so you need to do something like: $guesses=0; if ( isset($_POST['guesses'])) $guesses = $_POST['guesses']; 7) You need to output your table AFTER you process the data. Imagine that $guessCounter (somehow) got set to 7. Currently, you set the form value to 7, THEN process the guess where $guessCounter might go up to 8. Nevertheless, the form field still has 7 in it. There might be more problems, but let us know after you've had a go at these. Ian
