Login - Sessions - Help!!!

[MtPHP]

Ok, I have my script that lets users enter their username and password, and checks them against the db. If they exist it does
$login = "yes";
$valid_user = $entuser; // note that entuser is the var with username in it
session_register("login");
session_register("valid_user");
Then on my members only page I have
session_start();
Then I have
if($login != "yes")
{
print 'You're not logged in';
} else {
print 'you're logged in as $valid_user;
But it ALWAYS says they're logged out. Any ideas why?

<?php
  $load = "yes";

  if ($load == "yes")
  {
    session_start();
    session_register("valid_user");
    $valid_user = $entuser;
    print "Your logged in as $valid_user";
  }
  else
  {
    print "Your not logged in";
  }
?>

That should work.

It would be simpler as:

session_start();
$_SESSION['login']='yes';
$_SESSION['valid_user']=$entuser;

...

if($_SESSION['login'] != "yes")
{
print "You're not logged in";
} else {
print "You're logged in as $_SESSION[valid_user]";

From what I've seen on these forums, using session_register() is a sure road to madness...
