pass it one value at the time:
session_register("valid_user");
session_register("firstname");
session_register("lastname");
Another recommended method is to use superglobal variable $_SESSION. You
can then simply do:
$_SESSION['valid_user'] = $login;
$_SESSION['firstname'] = $first_name;
$_SESSION['lastname'] = $last_name;
and the three variables will be available on the next pages.
remember to start sessions before hand:
session_start();
