Hi all once again, Thanks for all, your suggestions made me to know about sessions and about the functions needed to handle sessions. but I have some doubts plz clarify those things what for the session Id is ?. what is SID ? I saw this in some example codings but it is not working in my machine ! The coding which is using SID & failed in my system is as follows -------- coding start -------------- <?php if (!session_is_registered('count')) { session_register('count'); $count = 1; } else { $count++; } ?> <p> Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $count; ?> times. </p> <p> To continue, <a href="nextpage.php?<?php echo strip_tags(SID); ?>">click here</a>. </p> ---------------- end ----------------- That echo statement is not working and my count also not gets increment.
