session not working on a php page

Hi All,

I am trying to experiment with sessions and they seem to be resetting
everytime i visit the page.

here is the code of the page

<?php
session_start();
$count = $_SESSION["counter"] + 1;
$_SESSION["counter"] = $count;
echo $_SESSION["counter"];
?>

if I refresh the page, the count doesn't increase. Whast should i do
to fix this?

any help is much appreciated

cheers
