Your post is so long, the code is cut off by the news server. However,
it's obvious from the following section of code that you're using
deprecated PHP that no longer works.

To start off, session_start() has already been called earlier on the
page, so you shouldn't call it again. Secondly, both session_register()
and $HTTP_POST_VARS are deprecated elements of PHP that no longer work
on most servers. The code should be rewritten like this:

$_SESSION['FirstName'] = $_POST['Name'];
