The session section of the manual is daunting but does contain this. ;-)
I just added the echo.

<?php
session_start();
// Use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
$_SESSION['count'] = 0;
} else {
$_SESSION['count']++;
}
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?>

The session data is stored on the server, an is referenced most commonly
by a volatile cookie. This is lost when the browser window is closed.
Each page using the session variable has to have session_start(); as
the first line
