I would use a $_SESSION variable

PHP Code:



<? 
session_start(); 
 
if(!isset($_SESSION['PASS_TRY'])) { 
    $_SESSION['PASS_TRY'] = 1; 
} else { 
    $_SESSION['PASS_TRY']++; 
} 
?>

You have to use the $_SESSION Array

PHP Code:



if( $_SESSION['PASS_TRY'] == 3) { 
    exit; 
}

look at www.php.net for documentation
From here, the session docs : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
