In your first query, you ran a SELECT. But apparently you didn't
actually fetch the results and free the result set. So the server's
still waiting for you to do that before you issue another query.
At least, that's what I'd guess based on the error message. It
should be sufficient to call mysql_store_result() and mysql_free_result()
before issuing the second query.
