On that same note, we have now rolled back all our servers to an older
version of php as this was bug was becoming impossible to work with.

Well, unfortunately I have bad news for you. Try using the empty() or
isset() functions on your new $_SESSION global variables. My guess is
they will always return true regardless of whether or not that variable
actually has a value. At least this was my experience when I did the
same thing you did, and went through replacing all my session
functions.
So for instance, in order to replace:
session_is_registered("variable")
you'd have to do:
!empty($_SESSION["variable"])
unfortunately, it always returns true!!

I forgot the session_start(); Still the same behaviour
<?php
session_start();
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$_SESSION["test"] = $test;
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
Output : 5 2 3
<?php
session_start();
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
session_register("test");
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
Output: 5 2 2

The first one works, the second one does not.
<?php
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$_SESSION["test"] = $test;
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
<?php
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
session_register("test");
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
If this is buggy code please tell me how.
I ended up going through _EVERY_ site that we host and changing
session_register to $_SESSION.
