I don't think the documentation is clear on this point -- it may be that the association between the global variable and the $_SESSION array doesn't "take" until the next page load and session_start(), and in any case the behaviour seems to be different between 4.2 and 4.3. I *think* you may have to session_register('element_countp') to make the association in the current page, but this is buggy and seriously disrecommended in 4.2 (although fixed in 4.3). Personally, I'd just use the $_SESSION[] variable anyway, and not bother with the equivalent global. Cheers!
