You might want to read
http://php.net/session
You are most likley running into a register_globals issue.
A couple things to note:
. You must not mix $_SESSION[] access with session_register()
anywhere in your script.
. When you issue session_register('name') inside your class it is
declaring the global var $name as a session var, not the $name in
your script.
