In my script, I'm potentially creating information to insert in to MySQL (based on a few variables), then later in the script I'm SELECTing the same data back out of MySQL. Like this:

if ($_GET['whatever']) {
$query = "REPLACE INTO...";
mysql_query($query);
}

$s_query = "SELECT ...";
$sql = mysql_query($s_query);

while (list(...) = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
// show data
}

This is obviously redundant, though, so I'm trying to find a way to create $sql in the first if() statement, so that the SELECT statement isn't necessary if it already exists.

Like:

if ($_GET['whatever']) {
$query = "REPLACE INTO...";
mysql_query($query);

$sql = ???;
}

if (!$sql) {
$s_query = "SELECT ...";
$sql = mysql_query($s_query);
}

while (list(...) = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
// show data
}

I know that I could create a regular array, then after the conditional SELECT statement use a loop to push the data in to the array. But what I'm curious about is if it's possible to just manually create the same type of array as mysql_query()?
