Save $_REQUEST variable as a constant

$_SESSION['guess1']=$_REQUEST['name'];

I'm trying to save that variable for my first guess for my mini hangman game, but whenever I put another input in, it changes. How could I save the request variable as a constant?

session_start();

if( !isset( $_SESSION['guesses'] )) {
    $_SESSION['guesses'] = array(
        $_REQUEST['name'];
    );
} else {
    $_SESSION['guesses'][] = $_REQUEST['name'];
}

This will create the $_SESSION['guesses'] array such that $_SESSION['guesses'][0] will contain the first guess, $_SESSION['guesses'][1] will contain the second, and so on. Also, count( $_SESSION['guesses'] ); will give you the total number of guesses made.

You could try this:

session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['firstGuess'])) {                 // if firstguess not already set
    $_SESSION['firstGuess'] = $_REQUEST['name'];       // set it. 
} else {
    // second and subsequent guess code here.
}
