Please note that if you have register_globals to On, global variables associated to $_SESSION variables are references, so this may lead to some weird situations.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 42;
$test = 43;
echo $_SESSION['test'];
?>
Load the page, OK it displays 42, reload the page... it displays 43.
The solution is to do this after each time you do a session_start() :
<?php
if (ini_get('register_globals'))
{
foreach ($_SESSION as $key=>$value)
{
if (isset($GLOBALS[$key]))
unset($GLOBALS[$key]);
}
}
?>
$_SESSION
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS [deprecated]
$_SESSION -- $HTTP_SESSION_VARS [deprecated] — Session variables
Описание
An associative array containing session variables available to the current script. See the Session functions documentation for more information on how this is used.
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS contains the same initial information, but is not a superglobal. (Note that $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and $_SESSION are different variables and that PHP handles them as such)

| 4.1.0 | Introduced $_SESSION that the deprecated $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. |
Примечания
Замечание: This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This simply means that it is available in all scopes throughout a script. There is no need to do global $variable; to access it within functions or methods.

Unlike a real PHP array, $_SESSION keys at the root level must be valid variable names.
<?php
$_SESSION[1][1] = 'cake'; // fails
$_SESSION['v1'][1] = 'cake'; // works
?>
I imagine this is an internal limitation having to do with the legacy function session_register(), where the registered global var must similarly have a valid name.

You may have trouble if you use '|' in the key:
$_SESSION["foo|bar"] = "fuzzy";
This does not work for me. I think it's because the serialisation of session object is using this char so the server reset your session when it cannot read it.
To make it work I replaced '|' by '_'.
