Php error log message about _SESSION not being a defined variable

Question

I use _SESSION in many parts of my application, but for some reason, my error logs keep having this line in there:

Undefined variable: _SESSION

Does anyone know why it outputs that and how I can stop that?

Hm... did you try

session_start();

on the first line?

I thought that was it - but actually, here is what I use: $variablexyz = $_SESSION['param'];

then as @royrui says. You should start with session_start();
