Hmm...

I code with PHP 4 on a daily basis, and i'm not sure where you got
that information about sessions not working, but its wrong. I have
never had any issues. You may be using an early version of PHP, but
unless you can get me a version i don't think that i can help you too
much. Here is the reference documentation that i am looking at.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

and here too, the $_SESSION variables were added at PHP 4.1.0 with a
note:

Note: Introduced in 4.1.0. In earlier versions, use
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS.
