With register_globals on:
1. Put session_start() at the top of each page.
2. Initialize the variable, then call session_register():
$foo = 'bar';
session_register('foo');
3. Do all assignments to $foo, not $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'], since $foo gets
written to $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'] at the end of the current page, and so
will overwrite anything that was assigned to $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'].
4. Because of #3, the value assigned to $foo won't be available in
$HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'] until the next page.
Clear as mud? I thought so ;)
