doesn't this work?:

	<?php ini_set('session.bug_compat_warn', 0); ?>

otherwise you'll have to set it in php.ini (or a .htaccess file)

IIRC it means your using session_register() .. which is depreciated and
will be dropped in 5.3 ... AFAIK best practices is not to use this function
but instead assing to the $_SESSION superglobal.

e.g.

do:

<?php $_SESSION['foo'] = $foo; // assumes session_start() has already been called

instead of

<?php session_register('foo', $foo); // automatically calls session_start() if not already started.
