Hi all,

I'm confused; this code isn't working and I don't know why; perhaps you 
can tell me or at least point me in the right direction:

<code>
if($_SESSION["cntr"] > "0") {
	echo "Count is now : " . $_SESSION["cntr"]." ";	
	}
	ELSE {
	$_SESSION['cntr']="0";
	$cntr=$_SESSION['cntr'];
	echo "Counter : " . $cntr."<br />";
	}
</code>

OK: This code is on the first of 3 PHP form pages. The ELSE works fine. 
If the count is zero, the initial count of "0" is echoed properly.

But if the code is 1 or greater, set on one of the two succeeding pages, 
  it still runs the ELSE code and insists on returning the value of "0".

  I'm not using session_destroy, nor an I using die(), exit() or 
anything else that should bother the SESSION var.
2. If the counter advances to 1 or more, however, when I send the user 
back to the first page (where the above code resides), it still prints 
the ELSE portion of the code, NOT what the SESSION var has been set to 
(1 or greater).

I'm confused!!  What am I doing wrong?

TIA,

Twayne`
