$hiddennumber = $_POST[hiddennumber];
if (empty($guess)) {
   $lowerlimit = 1;
   $upperlimit = 1000;
   $hiddennumber = rand(1,1000);
} // end if
$output = "<H2>I am thinking of a number between ";
$output .= "$lowerlimit and $upperlimit</H2>";
echo $output;
echo "the hidden number is ". $hiddennumber;
