Question

Below I have a line of code where it states which Session a user is currently on out of the number of Total Sessions.

<h1>CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) <?php echo $sessionMinus ?> OF <?php echo $_SESSION['initial_count'] ?></h1>

So for example the line could read this:

CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) 3 OF 3

Now the problem I have is that lets say I want 3 Sessions, It should read like this:

First time user opens page: CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) 1 OF 3

But instead it is reading like this: CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) 3 OF 3

Same if lets say I want 7 Sessions, for first session it should be: CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) 1 OF 7 but instead it is reading like this: CREATING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: SESSION (AAA) 7 OF 7.

So my question is that how can I get the first session to equal 1 out of …

Below is the current code:

if(isset($_POST['sessionNum'])){
            //Declare my counter for the first time

            $_SESSION['initial_count'] = $_POST['sessionNum'];
            $_SESSION['sessionNum'] = $_POST['sessionNum'];

    }

if (!isset($_SESSION['sessionCount'])) {
    $_SESSION['sessionCount'] = 1;
}
else if ($_SESSION['sessionCount'] < $_SESSION['sessionNum']) {
    ++$_SESSION['sessionCount'];
}


$sessionMinus =  $_SESSION['sessionCount'];

UPDATE:

Below was a previous attempt which did not work as it keep stating 2 OF 4 or 2 OF 5 or 2 OF 2 and etc:

if(isset($_POST['sessionNum'])){
            //Declare my counter for the first time

            $_SESSION['initial_count'] = $_POST['sessionNum'];
            $_SESSION['sessionNum'] = $_POST['sessionNum'];
            $_SESSION['sessionCount'] = 0;

    }

else if ($_SESSION['sessionCount'] < $_SESSION['sessionNum']) {
    $_SESSION['sessionCount']++;
}


$sessionMinus =  $_SESSION['sessionCount'];

Answer 1

replace this line

++$_SESSION['sessionCount'];

with this

$_SESSION['sessionCount']++;

---

if(isset($_POST['sessionNum'])){
    //Declare my counter for the first time
    $_SESSION['sessionCount'] = 0;
    $_SESSION['sessionNum'] = $_POST['sessionNum'];
}

if ($_SESSION['sessionCount'] < $_SESSION['sessionNum']) {
    $_SESSION['sessionCount']++;
}
