My PHP/Web page does not persist data when page is refreshed. Sample code attached

[curtwill]

I can't persist data when my php page is refreshed.

I expect the following code to increment the value of views each time the page is refreshed until the user closes their browser. It doesn't. Output is always "views = 1."

<?php
session_start();  
if(isset($_SESSION['views']))
    $_SESSION['views'] = $_SESSION['views'] + 1;
else
    $_SESSION['views'] = 1;
 
echo "views = ". $_SESSION['views']; 
 
print_r($_SESSION);
?>

it is working for me perfectly try using @ before session_start(); like this

@session_start();  
 

also check if sessions are enabled in you php.ini go to xampp home page by typing http://localhost in your browser and open phpinfo() and search for session you will seee the fllowing there

session
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user sqlite
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx
