RE: doing SELECTS and keeping the array intact with php

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
this has been bugging me for some time now.

I want to do a mysql select
then using php

while ($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
do something to get a small portion of the data
}


and that works fine. Then later I need to access $result as a complete
array 
again. Is there a way I can keep $result array intact and still take a 
couple values out beforehand. I can get it to work, by doing the select 
twice, but thats less than ideal.

More of a PHP question, but use reset($result); instead of a new query
