Re: Session Variables

Funnily - doesn't work for me. Here's what I got: Script #1 #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php session_start(); if (!isset($count)) { echo "Setting count"; session_register("count"); } else echo $count; $count++; sleep(60); ?> Script #2 #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php session_start(); echo $count; ?> If I start script#1 (and it sleep()s), wait 10 seconds, then launch script #2 in a separate browser window, script #2 returns empty. However once the sleep() is completed and I refresh the window with script #2, the output is okay (1). Why does this happen?
