sure there are, you can call the query in multiple places, for example:
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table_name WHERE db_field =
$search_string");
Then say you have a routine to check for missing for elements and you would
like to log failed vs. successfull attempts your code flow would be
something like:
if (!$search_string && !$var02) {
$sql;
} else {
$sql; }
