Your variable in session is called "Item", so session_register("SESSION") is
wrong. It should be session_register("Item"). But, as you use directly the
new syntax ($_SESSION) to affect the variable, you don't need
session_register. The variable "Item" will be automatically registered when
you write $_SESSION["Item"] = $retrived_itemno;
And, be careful for the typo : it is $_SESSION["Item"] and not
$SESSION[Item] (notice the _ and the "").

A tip : display what is in your session with this code :
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SESSION);
echo '</pre>';
