You can't do what you want with session cookes. You'll need to create a
permanent (or at least long duration) cookie for a visitor.
Something like:
// look for an existing cookie for this site
if (isset($_COOKIE['$thispage'])) { // if found, increment the count in
the database
update_db($user_code,$thispage);
}
// set a cookie (or extend the life of the current one
setcookie($aUniqueID,$thispage,time()+60*60*24*30);
.
