Your'e right, that's a typo.

If I put a

echo $_SESSION['counter_file'] .
' testxxxxxxxxx ' . $counterFile;

Before and after the conditional, $_SESSION['counter_file'] is set after the conditional, as it should be. But, it is gone from the before echo when the function is recalled.

The Session buffer looses the value.

session_start() is called again before returning to the function; but, I thought repeated session_starts() were ignored and thus should not restart the session.

I use the session buffer extensively in other places without any problem.
