You transcribed at least one line incorrectly. Change:
$im_thinking_of=int(rand10);

to (space between rand and 10):

$im_thinking_of=int(rand 10);

    Such a simple mistake in front of my eyes....! Thank you very much for your reply.
      Just one single character or letter makes the difference between a program that runs and one that does not even compile.

      You can make a typo or spelling mistake in a text, a mail or a post on the Internet and will probably still be understood. On a program, no typo allowed, zero tolerance, it will just not run most of the time (and it is even worse if it runs and does something else than what you wanted).
