Help with passing vars and echo

[DarkG0d]

Hello I seem to have a small problem, I have just setup a Apahe server on my localhost so I can run PhP Files.
and I made some simple codes. but they don’t seem to work proberly, those used to work on my univeristy where I statred making them as they are my Practical Assignment. Here are the wronmg outputs
when I try to send the var from home.php to guess.php I get this output

Hello " .$name . "!" . " Try and guess the number dude!!!..."); ?> "); echo("A Number from 1-100 has been set. up for the challange?"); ?>

and ofc is wrong. also I need some help to know how to check if the number given in guess.php is the same as the $x variable home.php [php] Home Page <?php session_start(); session_register("login"); ?> Enter Registration [/php]

guess.php
[php]

Guess The Number Dude <?php session_start(); $name = $_REQUEST['nm']; echo("

Hello " .$name . "!" . " Try and guess the number dude!!!...");

?>

<?php $x = 10; echo ("
"); echo("A Number from 1-100 has been set. up for the challange?"); ?> Enter Your Number [/php]

and correct.php

[php]

Correct <?php if ($x == 10) ; echo("correct"); ?> [/php]

first page seems good
second and 3rd pages have some problems.

second page
try
[php]echo “

Hello, $_POST[name], Try and guess the number dude!!!..

”;
unset($_POST[‘nm’];[/php]
get rid of that request crap and since you’re reusing nm, it needs to be reset or zero’d out.

$x will never equal 10 because variables don’t typically transfer between pages. if you want to it on the 3rd page, it has to be done through a hidden input on the form

3rd page
now, to get the value of x so that $x will equal 10, do
$x = $_POST[‘x’]; ($x now equals 10)

change the php to
[php]<?php
$y = $_POST[‘x’]; // from the hidden input
$x = $_POST[‘nm’]; //from the text input
if ($x == 10) { // correct number
echo “X is Correct”;
} else { // incorrect number
echo “Wrong Number bud”;
}

if ($y == 10) { // correct number
echo “Y is Correct”;
} else { // incorrect number
echo “Wrong Number bud”;
}
?>[/php]

well that helped a lot with fixing the pages ty =)
but what I actually wanna do is to check on the second page if the number is correct. if not I want to display error msg and increment a value $count for example. and go to the 3rd page if he finds the correct number iis that possible ?

ok, then try something like this
[php]<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($ct)) {
// makes sure that $ct doesn’t get overwritten on the next submit
$ct = 0;
}

if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {

if($_POST[‘nm’] = 10) {
header(“Location: correct.php”);
exit;
} else {
$ct++;
if($ct != 5) {
$msg = “Nope, try again, you have “.5 - $ct.” tries left”;
} else {
$ct = 5;
$msg = “You are out of tries”;
}
}
}
?>

Guess The Number Dude

Hello $_POST[nm]! Try and guess the number dude!!!...
A Number from 1-100 has been set. U for the challange?

Enter Your Number [/php]

correct.php

[code]

Correct

Your answer is correct!

[/code]

I didn’t know what you wanted to do with the counter, so i used it to give the person 5 tries, you can do anything with you with it.

Cool that helped me a lot again you are great ty
but I just have one minor problem that I can’t figure out. I am new to php so I can’t really tell what is the problem here
So well the following code should be correct I have edited a bit what you gave me to make it work how I need to but when I click on submit the second time it forgets the $name and it outputs one error msg. how can I fix that ? also for the $ct counter you have added I just want it to send it to the the correct.php form and say "Good you found the number with only : $ct tries "

[php]

Guess The Number Dude

<?php session_start();

if(!isset($ct)) {
// makes sure that $ct doesn’t get overwritten on the next submit
$ct = 0;
}

if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {

if($_POST[‘num’] == 10) {
header(“Location: correct.php”);
exit;
} else {
$ct++;
if($_POST[‘num’] >= 50) {
echo(“You Have to try Smaller Numbers Bud…”);
} else {
$_POST[‘num’] <10 ;
echo(“Maybe you can Find it or not bur you seem to be close try smaller numbers”);

  }

}
}
?>

<?php $name = $_REQUEST['nm']; echo("

Hello " .$name . "!" . " Try and guess the number dude!!!..."); ?> Enter Your Number

[/php]

session_start has to be at the very top of the page
[php]
session_start();

[/php]

[php]
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {
if($_POST[‘num’] == 10) {
$_SESSION[‘tries’] = $_POST[‘ct’];
$_SESSION[‘name’] = $_POST[‘nname’];
header(“Location: correct.php”);
exit;
} else {
$ct++;
if($_POST[‘num’] >= 50) {
echo “You Have to try Smaller Numbers Bud…”;
} elseif($_POST[‘num’] <10) {
echo “Maybe you can Find it or not but you seem to be close, try larger numbers”;
}
}
}

// do we get the name from the first page or from the hidden form input
if(!isset($name)) {
$name = $_POST[‘nm’];
} else {
$name = $_POST[‘nname’];
}

echo “

Hello $name! Try and guess the number dude!!!..

”;
?>[/php]

[code]

Enter Your Number [/code] on correct.php just echo the session variables to get the tries
