Help with session count code

I am trying to increase/decrease the value of $_SESSION['count'] by 1
after clicking on a link e.g index.php?gotoWk=nxtWk and index.php?
gotoWk=lstWk. I'm sure you will get the drift if you look at the code
below.

However, this code seems to be unreliable. Is there a more robust way
of achieving the same thing?

Many thanks,

Chris

if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
$_SESSION['count'] = 0;
} elseif($_REQUEST['gotoWk'] == "nxtWk") {
$_SESSION['count']++;
} elseif($_REQUEST['gotoWk'] == "lstWk") {
$_SESSION['count']--;
}

What do you mean by "seems to be unreliable?"

I don't see what why you think it's unreliable. Looks like it should do
exactly what you're explaining you want done. The only thing i'd
personally change is the $_REQUEST. I would use $_GET instead.

It is not reliable in that when a link is clicked it doesn't always
add or take away 1 appropiately?

Cheers,

Just to clarify why I need help.

If I use the code above when I click my add '>>' link first time all
is ok. The next take away click '<<' adds 1 then starts taking away 1
with further clicks. Returning to '>>' takes away 1 and then continues
to add 1?

Very confused?!

Cheers,

Chris

Then you aren't telling us the entire story, Chris. This code won't
work that way.

Let's see ALL the code you're using.
