Am I allowde to do this:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT member_id, member_name FROM members");
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
if(empty($result['member_name']))
{
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET member_name = 'N/A' WHERE member_id =
".$result['member_id']."");
}
}
As far as I know, after "SELECT" query, data are in buffer and I AM able
to connect to the same table and do UPDATE, right?
Thanks
