[nycphp-talk] handling forms (relative newbie)

After some fumbling and stumbling I seem to have things working OK.
However, right now I am naming each form element/post variable
individually to put the data into session_register, which could be a
pain the longer the form gets! I would like to, as Adam put it, "stuff
the POSTed data" into $_SESSION using $_POST but I don't see how to do
this.
Example my code:
session_start();
session_register('first_name','last_name',etc.,etc.many more fields to
follow...);
header ("Location: session_results.php");
exit;
Session Results page:
session_start();
echo "$_SESSION[first_name]";
Whenever I start trying to use session_register with _POST things go
south quick.
Hints/suggestions?
TIA,
-Aaron
