 * Hi Guys,
 * I am currently working on building a function using global $wpdb to select some
   values to add into a hook using add_filter. Is it acceptable to run a database
   call more than once in a function? I am more thinking on Security issues. The
   code I am starting with is :-
 *     ```
       global $wpdb;
   
       $postinfo = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM ls_posts WHERE ID = '$postid'", OBJECT );
       $postimage = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM ls_posts WHERE post_parent = '$postid'", OBJECT );
       ```
   
 * Any information would be greatly appreciated
    Many Thanks J
