First of all, don't use session_register(). It's not needed. Just use
the $_SESSION array.

Then ensure you aren't accidentally changing $_SESSION['bilder'] or
$bilder. It's easy to do with $register_globals on. IOW, is the code
you showed all the code, or just an excerpt.

And if this is a shared host, I would change hosting companies. The
security warnings have been out there for years - and I wouldn't trust
anyone who hasn't learned by now the potential problems it causes.
