number of views

[spode]

Is there a function (or way) to see how many times a user has viewed a page during a session? I've been searching for quite a while and have come to a speed bump.

set a session variable and increment it by 1 each time the page is loaded

Do you mean a single page. In your explanation you said a page. If so, the previous post wouldn't work since it would count each page view. We want a page - same page?

this should work under most circumstances, you may have to look out for how you name pages

session_start();
$pageCount = 'page_'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$parts = explode(".", $pageCount);
$pageCount = $parts[0];
$_SESSION[$pageCount]++;
echo "Number of pageviews this session: ".$_SESSION[$pageCount];

yep, that worked, thanks a lot
