Don't stuff things directly into that array. Bad Idea (tm).
Use:
session_register('count');
$count = 123;
>?>
></body>
></html>
>
>In index2.php I then have

><html>
><head></head>

>echo "\$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count']=".$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'].".<BR>";
>?>
></body>
></html>

Newer versions of PHP use $_SESSION not $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.
In *ANY* case, the documented procedure is to use:
session_register('count');
$count = /* whatever you want here */;
Stuffing junk into PHP's internal arrays that PHP *happens* to be using this
week to force session variables to spring into existence or altering their
values directly in that internal array is just *wrong*, no matter how many
'experts' you see doing it.
Use the documented session_register() function.
