If register_globals is disabled then you DO NOT use the session_register(),
session_unregister() functions.
You set them directly using: $_SESSION['step'] = 2
You remove them using: unset($_SESSION['step'])
If register_globals is enabled THEN you use the session_register(),
session_unregister() functions. In which case in your examples above, the use
of extract($_SESSION) is meaningless, and you need to
session_register('step'), then $step = 2.
