Change the result of mysql_query

Question

Can I modify the result that I have received from mysql_query than reset the pointer with mysql_data_seek($result, 0) and process the output like from normal query

Dummy example:

$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
   $row[$fieldName] = $this->someFunction($row['id']);
}
mysql_data_seek($result, 0);

In current example it doesn't works. The changing that I made to $row doesn't save. Is it possible to realise such idea, about changing $result?

Answer 1

You need to make a whapper around $result to make such things. But i advice you to change your minnd about why do you need it. There should be better way

Answer 2

It would be possible if you'd used e.g. PDO. But with the "old" mysql extension? No, not the way you most likely want it to work.
