is 'mysite' a constant? if not then that line should be:
session_start('mysite');

notice that you register 'admin'
and then set $wardadmin to 'yes'
.... maybe that is the problem.

probably because register_globals has been turned off.
also the use of session_register() is depreciated in favour of the
$_SESSION superglobal... so:
<?
// start the session before this bit.
if ($login_is_admin) { // <!-- psuedo var
$_SESSION['admin'] = 'yes';
} else {
$_SESSION['admin'] = 'no';
}
// and
if ('yes' == @$_SESSION['admin']) {
// your an admin
}
