Where do you define the PHP variable $guess?

EDIT: Also, when posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

Actually I did that also that is ..what i have commented ,but as soon as i uncomment that line .. error comes for the line ..wher i have coded $guess = (int) $guess.

thanking u dear in advance..!!

Actually, you haven't. This line:

$guess = (int) $guess;

casts the value contained in $guess to an integer and then assigns it to the same variable. But where is $guess supposed to have come from before that line?

If you're expecting to access external data (such as that which was sent in the HTML form), then you need to use one of the superglobal arrays ($GET, $POST, etc.). See this manual page for more information: [man]variables.external[/man].

Hello, maybe you can get some idea from this page (google: ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=422). When I was coding in PHP the doumentations/examples on this page helped me a lot.
