Not sure specifically what broke in 4.4 for you, but here some things
that are "wrong" in your code...
1. Technically, it's Location with a capital L, I think.
2. Technically, you should provide a FULL URL to Location:
3. @$admin is suppressing an error message. What's the error message?
4. If you're not checking that 'admin' comes from $_SESSION, anybody
from can surf to: admin.php?admin=yes
5. You are relying on "register_globals" being "on" and you shouldn't.
http://php.net/register_globals might tell you more
6. You session_register('admin') but you change $wardadmin They
should all match.
Methinks maybe it's time for you to re-write this code :-)
