I looked at this previously - I was examining the session files to see
if I could determine the problem. Session information is being stored in
C:\WINDOWS\Temp already; presumably PHP is defaulting to the system temp
path in the absence of a defined value.

Anyway, I'm sorry to report that adding the session_save_path() call
doesn't make any difference to the running of the script: the value is
still only incremented when $_SESSION is not assigned to another variable.

Just to make sure, I changed php.ini to specify a session path, but
again, it didn't make any difference, with or without the
session_save_path() call.

Are you running PHP on Windows? I'm wondering if that's the deciding factor.

I really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Mike
