Unless I've missed something you're going about this the wrong way. For what
you want to do, you should (in general) be able to accomplish it using just a
single query.
What fields do the tables 'users' and 'Members' contain? There should be a
field there (like eg. userid) which links the two together. If there isn't
one then you should seriously restructure your tables so that there is one.
