Variable always resetting

Question

I\'m creating a game like mastermind using forms. My problem is that I have a variable $attempts, and I want it to increase every time the user guesses a number, but it seems to

$attempts is always equal to one because it is not inside a loop, it is declared at the end and you are just adding one to its existing value (0). You need to put it in the appropriate place (just above the last { I think) and it should work.

Also, you seem to use different methods for adding one, such as $black + 1 and $attempts += 1;. Use $variable++, it is much easier to understand and stops any errors arising of that.
