Thanks for the reply! I must admit i and confused by the answer to the global variables question. Can i ask another question? What if i want to increment a global counter from within a function. at the moment i am trying to declare the variable normally: $counter=0; then within the function: function (){ global $counter; $counter++; } but then when i go to echo $counter outside of the function its value hasnt changed? Yet again any help would be appreciatted!
