[Resolved] Sessions showing in tmp - not reflecting on pages

nelsons

AM testing sessions for a project, and the tmp folder is creating them (easyphp/apache on win2000). However calls to the $count var ar not getting a result.

<?php
session_start();
$count = session_register("count");
$count++;
?>

<body>
Visit <?php echo $count; ?>
<P>
Link to next self <a href="count.php?<?php echo(SID);?>">link</a>
<p>
<?php echo(SID);?>
</body>
</html>

Looking at the actual sessions file its saying count|N;

The session ID is showing as it should. Its just not incrementing up.

Anyone have this experience or anything like it before.

Also, I am doing a complete refresh everytime.

<?php 
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['count']++;
?> 

<body> 
Visit <?php echo $_SESSION['count']; ?> 
<P> 
Link to next self <a href="count.php?<?php echo(SID);?>">link</a> 
<p> 
<?php echo(SID);?>

Still creating sessions - just not putting the value of the variable in the variable name. Very odd.

Have you tried setting it default?

<?php 
session_start(); 
if(isset($_SESSION['count']) && is_numeric($_SESSION['count'])) {
   $_SESSION['count']++;
}
else {
   $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
}
?>

Works great. Now to spend the rest of the evening wrapping around why it does.

Thanks.

Am marking this thread resolved.
