Always check the php documentation. You will see this: This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0. (http://ro1.php.net/session_register) — keepwalking, Mar 07 '14 at 13:47

That function is deprecated. Use:

$_SESSION['username'] = 'value';

session_register has been deprecated.

please use $_session['key'] and set your value in this

also must have session started before this:- session_start()

$_SESSION['username'] = 'anyvalue';

for get this session you need

$sss = $_SESSION['username'];

The function session_register was deprecated in version 5.3 and completely removed in version 5.4.

This means that you will have to change all instances of session_register from:

session_register('username');

to something like:

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
