This is not a user support issue. This is a joomla bug.
Joomla 3.5 is not compatible with PHP 7.
Yes it is, I did the work myself to make it compatible and I've deployed a few sites onto PHP 7 since 3.5's release. The fact that you're getting an error relating to session startup indicates an issue with your hosting environment. This could range anywhere from failing to connect to the session handler's storage to some code spitting output or sending response headers before the session is started (which PHP does not allow). In either case, post on the forums and folks will assist you there as they are able. If a consistently reproducible core bug is found, then submit a bug report with all of that data.
