Guessing game, no data passing to another form

I am working on a guessing game. The guessing code is working, however, when i want to click the 'give up' to display the number, is not passing the value to the give up. My apology, I am fairly new with php.

Any suggestion or hint how this could be done?

below is the guessinggame.php and the bottom one is the giveup.php

<?php

session_start();
$number = rand(1,100);

if(isset($_POST["guess"])){
    $guess  = $_POST['guess'];
    $number  = $_POST['number'];
    $display = $_POST['submit'];

    if ($guess < $number){ 
        echo "The number needs to be higer!";
    }else
    if($guess > $number){       
        echo "The number needs to be lower!";
    }else
    if($guess == $number){      
        echo "Congratulation! You Guessed the hidden number.";
    }
}
?>

You could store the number in the user session in your main script:

session_start();
$number = rand(1,100);
$_SESSION['number'] = $number;

Then, retrieve it in giveup.php:

$number = $_SESSION['number'];
