Try looking at the reimport_[get|post]_vars() function in the documentation
for the session class. It should do what you're looking for. Be careful when
using it, though; it will overwrite _any_ variable with those it recieved
via get or post that are of the same name, not just session variables.

A more elegent solution would be to use "temporary" variables for the form
input (or, as the docs suggest, accessing $HTTP_[GET|POST]_VARS directly),
and then (after checking the input, of course) assigning the form data to
the "permanent" session variables. (i.e.: submit a form with variable $name,
then assign $name's value to a session variable like $s_name, assuming of
course that $s_name has been registered as a session variable in your
script)
