If you have just installed php then you probably have register globals set to off which is a good thing. Use $_SESSION to set and access sessions. That session_register function is deprecated and also how you used it was wrong but lets not get into that..

So try this:

test.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['tester'] = 'max';
?>

test2.php

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['tester']))
    echo 'tester='.$_SESSION['tester'];
else
    echo 'Session "tester" is not set.';
?>

Try to change your line

if(session_register('$tester')){

to

if(session_register('tester')){

hi,
global registers is ON at my ini file ...
i try as you write, but always getting : 'Session "tester" is not set.'
it is not registering any session variable !!
and then in the page test.php i added:

<?php 
session_start(); 
$tester="Max";
if(session_register('tester')){
	echo "registered ...";
	}
?> 
<a href='test2.php'>continue</a>

and i removed the $ from the 'tester' ...
still not working, any advices .. ?!

The following code works for me

test.php

<?php
session_start();
$tester="Max";
if(session_register('tester')){
    echo "registered ...";
    }
?>
<a href='test2.php'>continue</a> 

test2.php

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['tester']))
    echo 'tester='.$_SESSION['tester'];
else
    echo 'Session "tester" is not set.';
?> 

So it is ok.
