Hi,

I use session variables:

session_register("name")
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["name"]=$something;

The problem is that i get this warning message when the page loads:

Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0

The session data still exists and gets used properly.

What shall I do?

use $_SESSION and session_start() instead

read through: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

will give it a try.

By the way how does $_SESSION differ?

Thanks

$_SESSION is a super global. $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is not.
