The problem may be your variable variable syntax...  See if the following
works:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  session_register('config_'.$row['config_id']);
  ${'config_'.$row['config_id']} = $row['config_value'];
}

Although I personally prefer using the session superglobal over
session_register, which means you'd just need a string for the key
value and can avoid variable variables altogether...

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $_SESSION['config_'.$row['config_id']] = $row['config_value'];
}

mh.
