Re: More Fun With Sessions!

You only need to register the variable once when you initiate the session. Also as of php 4.1 I believe you do not have to register your session vars you can just acccess them like $_SESSION['counter']: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Basically what I see you're doing is reregistering the variable on each page which initializes it as 0 and so when you do $counter++ you're always going to get 1..
