Are you sure you're using <?php session_start(); I forgot the () one time and it had me going for a while. Also, try this (it should work): ======= Page 1 <?php session_start(); // page1.php $num = isset($_SESSION ['num']) ? $_SESSION ['num'] : 0; $num = 1; $_SESSION ['num'] = $num; echo($num); ?> <form action="page1.php"> <input type="submit" value="Goto the next page"> </form> ======= Page 2 <?php session_start(); // page2.php $num = isset($_SESSION ['num']) ? $_SESSION ['num'] : 0; echo($num); ?> <form action="page1.php"> <input type="submit" value="Goto the last page"> </form> Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
