Well, it can mess up some things if you expect the results to come in order. You may need to use mysql_tquery instead of mysql_pquery if you really need the results in order. For example, something like:

PHP код:

RegisterPlayer( playerid )
{
    mysql_pquery( 1, "INSERT INTO `users` VALUES( MY_KEY_ID, ... )", "RegisteredPlayerInsert", playerid );
    mysql_pquery( 1, "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = MY_KEY_ID", "SelectInsertedValues", playerid );
}
function RegisteredPlayerInsert( playerid )
{
    // blahblahblah
}
function SelectInsertedValues( playerid )
{
    // do things with user's row
} 


won't be fine, as "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = MY_KEY_ID" could be actually executed before the insert (so the result will be empty, no rows, but you may expect one row EVERYTIME ! if the SELECT is executed before INSERT, there won't be any row, otherwise it will have the full row you requested), not after it like you see in the code, for that you have to use mysql_tquery. Ideally, you can still keep using mysql_pquery, but do it in this way:

PHP код:

RegisterPlayer( playerid )
{
    mysql_pquery( 1, "INSERT INTO `users` VALUES( 0, ... )", "RegisteredPlayerInsert", playerid );
}
function RegisteredPlayerInsert( playerid )
{
    // blahblahblah
    format( lString, 128, "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = %d", cache_insert_id( ) );
    mysql_pquery( 1, lString, "SelectInsertedValues", playerid );
}
function SelectInsertedValues( playerid )
{
    // do things with user's row
} 


Not the best real life example, but some other things may look similar to this. Most of the code can be made perfectly compatible with the mysql_pquery function, you just have to think how they may mess up if they won't get executed in order.
