This is what I am seeing now using your code above.
The increment works when done directly into the session register but
when done on the page, it does not get applied. I am incrementing
both ways in succession and reloading. These are the results I get on
each reload.
RegisterPage
1 1-2
2 2-3
3 3-4
4 4-5
or similar.
Any changes done outside the register just do not get recorded into
the register. They must be done in the register itself.
Many thanks again Jason. That was a good one. I am off and looking
for the next problem now.

Re: [PHP] Session updates ok first time only.
Jason put a little snip from the man that he found that works just
fine on my pages.
It looks like you increment or change the variable directly in the
session register instead of doing it on the page.
That sounds suspiciously like what you were trying to tell me. :-)
What do you think...

Wow... That works. Al right! You mean you can only increment
directly in the session register and *then* pull the value.., instead
of pulling it first and then incrementing? Is that the basic concept
that I should to keep in mind? I can do that... :0)
You're all right Jason. This is a terrific help for me. And I'm
definitely going to print a hardcopy of the man... Looks like using
the on-line or even the pd on screen isn't working out too well.
With the changes going on, this is probably something that will come
up again and again for some time to come. Nice to have it figured
out, eh?
And I'll do some more tests, etc. and put a little follow up here on
anything else I see.

Here's an interesting snippet from the manual: The track_vars and register_globals configuration settings influence how the session variables get stored and restored. Note: As of PHP 4.0.3, track_vars is always turned on. If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session variables. The restored session variables will only be available in the array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.

I thought that when register_globals = off, all you need is
session_start() at the top of every page and from then on
session_register() isn't even needed. I also thought that in fact it
was safer to use $_SESSION['variablename'] than to use
session_register() each time (well, not safer, but a better habit for
the register_globals = off crowd).
I'm not disagreeing with you, just asking for clarification. I base
this on what I've read in the PHP manual on using session variables
(there are some indented blockquotes that suggest this technique for
PHP4.1-using register_globals=off-turning PHP coders).

Refreshing was what I was doing in the original single page, but it
wasn't working. I went to two pages to try and help show what was
going on. Still reloading doesn't help. Neither does the dos slash
reversal. I thought that might be going to do it for a while, but
nothing. :-<
I only listed the *un* rem'ed lines of the ini session portion. Is it
possible I need to remove a rem on one of those that were rem'ed?
It's a vanilla 'suggested' ini.
Or maybe an error log I can look at? Can such a report be created?

Ahh, but I thought that was what the "Send Page" and "Return Page" was for :)
> But it's still not climbing.
1) You could try reloading (F5 if using IE) the "Send Page", if sessions were
working you should see the counter counting.
2) session.save_path = c:/tmp, I don't use PHP on Windows, but looking at the
other settings, paths for Windows systems are specified with a backslash. Try
session.save_path = c:\tmp

No need for this, in fact this is what is preventing it from working! Once
you've used session_register('var'), $var is available for use.

You're inc'ing $page_views twice, this is what makes you *think* the session
is working when in fact it isn't!
