Help session grab user_id from database

[eluser]Ed Robindon[/eluser]
Hello,

I use the native PHP $_SESSION for session.

When a user successfully logs in I simply store the database row in a
session variable and all user info is available anywhere I need it.

Code:

$row = $query->row();
      //Validation code removed...
      $_SESSION['user']=$row;
      $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;

Does this help any?
