Why don't you use {} to mark your logical blocks?
This is PHP, not python. ;-)

Like:
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['countAccess'])) {
$_SESSION['countAccess'] = 0;
} else {
$_SESSION['countAccess']++;
}

echo $_SESSION['countAccess'];

That ?productid=78 has nothing to do with the SESSION.
It will appear in $_GET, not $_SESSION.
So this is very surprising.
Do you have more code, without {}, that might interfere?
If yes: fix it, and if the problem persists, show us the code.
