Session - am i missing something?

[Anon]

I've gone round-and-round with this and im stuck. I simply have this:
<?php
session_start();
session_register('c');
$c++;
print $c;
?>

and it never really works if i keep hitting refresh, the SID changes everytime. trackvars is on (php 4.0.5) and register-globals is on as well...
I've also tried phplib (i need user/pass logins which is why i need this to work.) but as soon as I add ANY page_open() call I get a "Cannot find server" error.

I'm using php405, mysql, winMe, PWS.
I feel like the biggest dope not being able to get a pre-written library running. It worked at one point but only briefly.
Any suggestions/comments/finger pointing is welcome.
thanks

Changing values of session variables has always been a problem for me. What I usually do is unregister the variable and then re-register it. This is a common problem if you read through the PHP docs on php.net.

<pre>

<?php
session_start();

if ( session_is_registered("c") ){
echo "C=$c";
$temp = $c++;
session_unregister("c");
$c = $temp;
session_register("c");
}
else{
$c=0;
session_register("c");
}
?>

</pre>

Comment: Mate, I tried the your snippet, it works for me.(Linux PHP405 Apache)
Suggestion: Check your cache settings.
Point: Theres not much need to explicitly start a session using session_start(). Try leaving it out.
