You'll have to use the MySQLi extension if you don't want to execute a query twice:

if (mysqli_multi_query($link, $query))
{
    $result1 = mysqli_store_result($link);
    $result2 = null;

    if (mysqli_more_results($link))
    {
        mysqli_next_result($link);
        $result2 = mysqli_store_result($link);
    }

    // do something with both result sets.

    if ($result1)
        mysqli_free_result($result1);

    if ($result2)
        mysqli_free_result($result2);
}
