It sounds like your host may have an older version of PHP with
register_globals turned on.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
That would cause your session variables to be global so that you would be
able to access them without using $_SESSION['var'].

If you determine that this is the case, I recommend turning
register_globals off... but you have to be careful doing so, as you can
see, your code up to now may be depending on having it turned on.
