First of all, you can make sessions automaticly turn on by setting "session.auto_start" in your php.ini file. Alternatively, you can set "output_buffering" to something... to buffer your response before sending it along.
Now, that error message you are getting is probably because you are trying to put one of the global variables into session. Its a complex issue, but basicly there are scoping problems with global variables and sessions. Im not sure why:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21312
This problem was, in theory, fixed with 4.3, but a lot of people still see wierd problems.
You should just be sure to NEVER put a global object in a session... which means not putting ANYTHING in there from the $_SERVER superglobal, or even from things like the $_POST superglobal, unless you first alter its scope. The above URL has a trick to do this.
happy coding!

Hi I've been learning to get through sessions as it appears to be the hardest part of PHP I've come across.I found that includes must be stated underneath that of a session_start() for example otherwise a warning will appear that it can't start a session because a header has already been sent (or something to that effect). But a new warning has arose where it is suggesting something, but please note that the code actually executed okay. So, I want to clarify it's meaning and is it safe to just turn of the warning(session.bug_compat_warn ) and do nothing else? (I'm using v 4.3) 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 Regards, Pat
