MysQL Return into an Array variable

[fnbcprog]

I am doing a mysql query on my database that returns values that look like this:

---

param value

path_to_file "some_path"
path_to_scritps "some_path"

I want to take that and put it into and single array to be used as a session variable thorughout my application.

This is what I want it to look like:
$global_ops is the variable array name
$global_ops[path_to_file] = "some_path";
$global_ops[path_to_scripts] = "some_path";

I hope you can help me!!!

explode on whitespace

$result=mysql_query("blah");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
   $global_ops=array();
   while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
      $split=explode(" ", $row['param_value']);
      $global_ops[$split[0]] = $split[1];
   }
}

Now how would you take that variable $global_ops and set it as a session variable??

And on the next page how would that variable be referenced?
