You probably want this:

$_SESSION['page'.$numberpages] = $CurrentPage;

You're missing a dot, a concatenation dot:

$_SESSION['page' . $numberpages]=$CurrentPage;

Or use double quotes:

$_SESSION["page$numberpages"]=$CurrentPage;

And, variable names are case-sensitive in PHP, unlike function names. So, it should be $_SESSION, instead of $_session.
