"Warning: session_write_close() [function.session-write-close]: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in /home/bagzbry/public_html/store/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 170"

You're only updated from November 12th, 2005. You have those updates, now you need the ones from June 8th (Update 060817). You can get it here: http://www.oscommerce.com/solutions/downloads

 

It will take a couple hours to change the 32 or so files manually that you have to change (less if you have little contributions, more if you have more), but it addresses a lot of security issues, and I believe your issue, as well.

Do the updates and see what happens. sessions.php on line 170? Sessions.php doesn't even have 170 lines. You should find out from your hosting company if Register Globals is enabled, and make sure your register globals in your php.ini are not set to 'off'.

 

If you choose to keep 'em on, you have to install the register globals patch: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2097/ ... But the updates I posted above should address this, but keep this in mind just in case.
