I still can't get it.

On page 1:

session_register("pass");

$pass="ok"

On page 2:

Then what?

I had a script working under php 4.1.1

But my ser has upgraded to php 4.2.1

Now nothing is working

I get an error telling me that I a have an undefined index.
On what page do I define the index of the variable, and how.

No, no, no and no !!!

Always set the value of a variable BEFORE registering it in a session...

session_start();
$pass = "helloe there";
session_register('pass');

And don't user session_register() before showing the content of a variable, it will erease it...

session_start();
echo "<body>Pass=$pass</body>";

And use $SESSION["<variable name>"] instead of $<variable_name> : $SESSION["pass"] instead of $pass. It's more secure and it since some config sometimes makes that session variables are not directly accessible, you must use $_SESSION.

thanks for your help.

But where and how do I define the index?

I still get an error telling me that there is an undefined indes in the line where i call the variable.

Are you talking of $SESSION ? If yes, when you start a session which already exists, you can access variables with $SESSION array. But you can't access them with $SESSION when you register them...
Ex :
session_start();
$var1 = 1;
session_register("var1");
$SESSION["var1"] = 2; // ERROR

Please notice that index are case sensitive... $SESSION["var1"] != $SESSION["VAR1"]
