Kae,

It's a long time since I had to debug something like this,
but how can you be uploading a file if you're using GET?

Assuming I'm barking up the wrong tree...

There are a number of potentially useful comments at:

http://ie2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php

which might be relevant. In particular, the one about
included files, end tags and so on.  If you are using PHP5,
check the first comment about garbage-collecting.
