sessions beginner help

Anon

can anyone give me hints on why this code does not work for me?

win ME
apache 1.3.24
php 4.2.0

<head>

</head>
<body>
<?php

session_start();
session_register('count');

echo "<p>You've been here $count times. Thanks!</p>";

<a href="sessiontest.php">Session Test Again</a>
</body>

You need to register a session variable like

session_start();
$count =1234;
session_register('$count');

then on another page (wont work on the same page)

session_start();
echo "Youve been here $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']";

hope this helps

With your version of PHP, use $_SESSION instead of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.

Thanks Al and H.L!!!... if any other person uses this message as a begginers guide.. I also had to keep deleting the session created in my temp folder to get this example to work..

Thanks and Aloha!
