[PHP] vars between instantiate class...

[Raditha Dissanayake]

hi,

This is because the life time of an object is only as long as the page.
Two solutions: store the login attempt count in the cookies. If you want
persistent objects serialize them and save them to disk or db. and
deserialize them again on the next page. This will have to be coupled
with a uinique identifier (usually associated with a session) so that
you know which object belongs to which user.
