Well, all of that is exactly what you need to do to avoid the buggy behaviour. Are
you using *any* other session_*() calls apart from session_start()?
If not, and you are 101% certain that all your pages are coded in the style you've
enumerated, then your best bet is just to change the setting of one or both of the
session.bug_compat_* configure options. If you only turn bug_compat_warn off, you
will suppress the warning whilst still retaining the old behaviour (just in case!).
But if you're sure you're not relying on the buggy behaviour, why not just turn
bug_compat_42 off? If you've got it right, your scripts will still work; if not, then
you should at least have some clues to help you find and fix the erroneous code.
As to why you're still getting the warning, even though your session code appears to
be safe, I think there's a clue in the first few words of the message itself: "Your
script possibly relies ...". Note that "possibly". Why the changes you refer to
should determine whether or not the warning is evoked I have no idea, but something in
there is triggering it. Again, if you're sure that that "possibly" doesn't apply to
you, just turn off one or both of the configure options.
Cheers!
Mike

My *GUESS* is that you're using:
session_register('var')
session_unregister('var2')
rather than
$_SESSION['var'] = 'something';
unset($_SESSION['var2']);
Either that, or you're referring to session vars as $var instead of
$_SESSION['var']
Give that a go and see what happens.

Justin apparently missed the message Dave replied to (which was mine). You
know what happens when you assume Justin? You make an ass out of you and
me. So here's a repost for you:
1. Registered globals are off.
2. Using super globals ($_SESSION instead of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS)
3. Setting via $_SESSION['var'] = $var instead of session_register('var')
4. Always calling $_SESSION['var'] instead of $var (registered globals are
off, so it really isn't an option, now is it?)
5. Unsetting via unset($_SESSION['var']) instead of
session_unregister('var')
Now, if any other geniouses would like to help me (or any other frustrated
4.3.1 users) figure out a solution for this vague error message, don't
follow Justin's very unhelpful footsteps.
Here's another odd tidbit: I was able to get rid of the message on one
page by taking out one of the selects in my MS SQL query. It mattered
specifically which column it was that I removed from the query and there
are no other variables throughout the entire project that match the
column's name. The warning only pops up on very specific pages, despite
the consistent coding style throughout the project.
Maybe I'll have better luck posting to bugs.
