I am still quite new to MySQL and have a basic question.  I am using PHP, so
forgive me if this is more a PHP issue.

I want to perform an update to a specific record based on a condition.  In
the outer loop, I have Query1, which returns set Result1.  Inside this loop,
I run an UPDATE query which returns Result2.  

// executed first query.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1))
        {
        // get the record ID for the row we are on.
        $recid = $row["id"];
        // construct a new  query
        $q2 ="UPDATE  `table`  SET  `review` = 1  where id =
'".$recid."';";
          $result2 = mysql_query($q2)
        }

Is this a valid use of MySQL?  I am concerned that executing the update
query might somehow effect the first one that is used in the outer loop.
