If you have a fixed number of variables (known in advance and equal to the lenght of the $row) you could use the list function. Something like:

list($a, $b, $c, $d, $e, $f, $g, $h, $i, $j, $k, $l, $m) = $row;

But be aware that using an array instead of lots of variables is often more practical and handy.

And please note the mysql_* functions are deprecated (use PDO or mysqli).
