There is two problems here.  The first is, it assumes register_globals
is set to On.  The second is in 1.2.10 we renamed sessions.  Make sure
that the file src/global.php is included above your session_start();
Do this via:

  require_once('../src/global.php');

You might need to issue a chdir('..'); above that line to make it work
down a level, or simple just extend the require via:

  require_once('../../src/global.php');

If you are running with register_globals set to On, you can ignore the
first problem, but certainly cannot ignore the second.  If you are
running with register_globals set to Off, after session_start(); put
the following line:

  $username = $_SESSION('username');

And try again.
