This is definitely not the case. Two things to try: 1. In page2, put some logic around the "session_register("FailedLogins");", otherwise you re-register on every visit. I don't think this affects the variable's value, but it is definitely wasted cycles. 2. If register_globals is set to "on" in php.ini, and you are using a PHP version earlier than 4.0.6, then the code below probably won't work. If this is the case, just use the global variable, $FailedLogins, instead of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["FailedLogins"] everywhere.
