First, change the names of your include files to something.inc.php so that no-one can 
download the files and get thte source, should their names become known.
 
Second, you either must use session_register or $_SESSION['variablename'] and not mix 
their use.
So instead of:
$authenticated_user = 71722334;
session_register("authenticated_user");
 
Use:
 $_SESSION['authenticated_user'] = 71722334;
 
Note that session_register will always start sessions, while using the associated 
array $_SESSION won't, so make sure you continue to use session_start() at the top of 
every page just as you did here.
