You shouldn't really be using it even on 4.0.6, best remove it now and
the warning will go too.

Dump out the session contents and see what's in there (if anything):

print_r($_SESSION);

Equally, dump out the cookie super global to see if the session cookie
even got set

print_r($_COOKIE);

Or use the Web Developer extension for Firefox and "Display cookies"
after the first page load - you should see the PHPSESSID cookie in
existence. If not, that's the problem. If so, what does it say?

S> In the session_is_registered-part, the var seems to be empty, too. Why?

Because even 4.0.6 shouldn't be using that function. If you want to
check for the existence of a variable, use isset().

Best regards,
