Drupal is a Content Management System (CMS) designed to create everything from tiny to large corporate websites. Over 1,000,000 websites run on Drupal and it is used to make many of the websites and applications you use every day (including this one). Drupal has a great set of standard features such as easy content authoring, reliable performance, and excellent security. What sets Drupal apart is its flexibility as modularity is one of its core principles. 

Drupal is also a great choice for creating integrated digital frameworks. You can extend it with the thousands of add-ons available. These modules expand Drupal's functionality. Themes let you customize your content's presentation and distributions (Drupal bundles) are bundles which you can use as starter-kits.

do {
      ...

You can create create member table, like my example in MySQL 8, or any other table in your MySQL database.

<?php /*
||  Function Name: update_member
*/
function update_member($account_number, $member_type, …
