I have just did this php code for the high-low game but the $tries variable always goes down to 0 when I refresh..Can someone help me to return the $tries to browser with the url? Thank you

<html>
    <?php $tries = 0 ?>
    <body>
            <form action="http://195.251.218.44/code/workspace/fin19178/2021/ergasia2/askisi2.php" method="post">
                Make a guess: <input type="number"     name="number" id="number" required>
                <input type="submit" value="Guess">
            </form>
        
    </body>
</html>

<?php function High_Low($guess){
    $tries += 1;
    $hidden_number= 74;
    if ($guess < $hidden_number) {
        return "Give me a higher number!";
    } elseif ($guess > $hidden_number) {
        return "Give me a lower number!";
    } else {
        return "Congratulations,You have found it in:" . $tries . " tries!"; }
    }
?>
<?php echo High_Low($_POST["number"]); ?>

First please use the code icon (<>) in the menu for your code and select PHP.

As to your problem, keep in mind that PHP is stateless and server side. It does not know anything about a previous display of a page. To accomplish what you want you need to use sessions.
