Actually that should work, but are you doing it on a page where the session is active?
You need to include Gallery's init page and start the session:

include_once('init.php'); // for file in Gallery basedir adjust accordingly.
session_start();

$_SESSION['myvar'] = 'foobar';

You might have to do: session_write_close(); on your script to close/save the session if you end the script early (usually not needed tho).

To my knowledge you can't add a function to a session variable-you'd have to have a check at whereever you use those variables and unset them when you are done with them.

wooops: this is gallery2, I don't think it works in g1

I just found out that working with gallery's session object can be done like this:

setting a variable
$session =& $gallery->getSession();
$session->put('yourVariable', $yourVariable);

and to get it
$session =& $gallery->getSession();
$yourVariable = $session->get('yourVariable');
