Yeah. See Normans post about static variables. Normally this is what you use  
but I didn't know if php had it(though that is what global was). 
 
If you get a program like zend studio then you can debug your code and step  
through it one line at a time and see whats going on. This is how I found  
out that your counter was local and not actually counting the recursive  
steps.  It makes it much easier to write code if you can debug it.
