PHP session issues

I have a mobile script from detectmobilebrowsers.com that will redirect the user to my mobile site however I also wish that when the URL "http://example.com/?mobile=no" is entered a session will be created that won't redirect the user on every page of my site... 

$mobile=$_GET['mobile'];

if(isset($_SESSION['mobile'])){
    if($_SESSION['mobile']==="no"){
        complete();
    }
    else{
        $_SESSION['mobile']="no";
        complete();
    }
}
elseif($mobile==="no"){
    $_SESSION['mobile']="no";
    complete();
}
elseif($_SESSION['mobile']!="no"){
    checkMobile();
}
function checkMobile(){
    // Mobile Detection Code taken out to save space.
    gotoMobile();
}
function gotoMobile(){
    echo "<script>window.location='http://m.MySite.org/';</script>";
}
function complete(){
    return false;
}

Sorry if I seem confusing but in short terms: Mobile Detection (which is set)... make session mobile=no if user does wishes to view full site and when that session is created it is checked on everypage (same php script) and if I set my session for no mobile I want that to stay on everypage... In my case the only thing that happens is the first page is not redirected but when I go to another page it won't display it unless I add the ?mobile=no but the whole point of the sessions here is so this only needs to be done once.

Before you can begin storing user information in your PHP session, you must first start the session:

session_start();

There must be no markup ouputted before session_start(), not even whitespace! (unless output buffering is used).

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

It sounds simple, but are you sure you are using session_start() at the top of every page before checking all of your session variables?
