I just made this for you to trie so you can understand sessions..

 

 

if you enter the name redarrow you get the congratulations...

 

 

<?php session_start();

if($_POST['submit']){

$username=$_POST['username'];

$name="redarrow";

if($username==$name){

echo "Congratulations you win!";

unset($_SESSION['count']);

echo "<br><br><a href=" .$_SESRVER['PHP_SELF']. ">Please try agin</a>";

exit;

}else{

if (empty($_SESSION['count'])) {
   
$_SESSION['count'] = 1;

} else {

$_SESSION['count']++;


if($_SESSION['count']==4){

echo " sorry you lose!";

unset($_SESSION['count']);

echo "<br><br><a href=" .$_SESRVER['PHP_SELF']. ">Please try agin</a>";

exit;
}
}
  }
   }
?>

<html>

<title>Session Count test</title>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" >

try this

 

 

<?php

session_start();

 

if (!isset($_SESSION['counter']))

{

$_SESSION['counter'] = 4;

}

$_SESSION['counter']--;

}

 

 

if ($_SESSION['counter'] < 1)

{

echo "<h1>no more tries</h1>";

}

else

{

echo "<h1>you got ".$_SESSION['counter']." left<h1>";

}

echo "<a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}'>Test Counter</a>";
