OK, the session_is_registered() thing is correct.

This is definitely not the case. Two things to try:
1. In page2, put some logic around the "session_register("FailedLogins");",
otherwise you re-register on every visit. I don't think this affects the
variable's value, but it is definitely wasted cycles.
2. If register_globals is set to "on" in php.ini, and you are using a PHP
version earlier than 4.0.6, then the code below probably won't work. If this
is the case, just use the global variable, $FailedLogins, instead of
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["FailedLogins"] everywhere.
