Pushing Vars into $_SESSION

Afternoon Was wondering if there is an easier way to get returned variables into the $_SESSION rather than going through each one?? eg $link_id = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)

               or die("Connection to $dbhost failed on verification section");

mysql_select_db($logindb, $link_id)

       or die("Selection of database failed on verification section");

$query = "SELECT * FROM blah where blah = 'blah'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed: " . mysql_error());

       while ($line = mysql_fetch_object($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
               $id = $line->id;
               $firstname = $line->firstname;
               $surname = $line->surname;
               $email = $line->email;
              
       }

mysql_close($link_id); $_SESSION["id"] = "$id"; $_SESSION["firstname"] = $firstname; $_SESSION["surname"] = $surname; $_SESSION["email"] = $email; Any help here is appreciated.... Chris
