Question

I want to do something like this:

$select = "select some_fiels from some_table";

$result = mysql_query($select);

    if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 )
    {
               $rows = array();
               while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
               {
                 $rows[] = $r;
               }

               echo json_encode($rows);

               // THIS IN ORDER TO EXTRACT THE VARIABLE VALUE FOR USE LATER IN THE SCRIPT   
           while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
       {
        $creator_member_id = $row['creator_member_id'];
       }
    }

But I am not sure what is the best way to reset the $result variable. Or does it need to be reset? What is the best way for me to extract the value into the $creator_member_id variable?

Thanks!

If you want to keep the previous results, just do the query into a different array.

$result2 = mysql_query($select);

if (mysql_num_rows($result2) > 0 )

It would help if you explained what you were trying to query though as I think you may be doing more queries than you actually need to do.
