Updating database in an IF Statement

I am trying to update my database inside an IF statement but it doesn't seem to be working. email_sent doesn't change to 1. Is my statement correct?

$result2 = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM stock_control WHERE id = '$id' ");

while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result2))
{
$item=$row1['item'];
$location=$row1['location'];
$quantity=$row1['quantity'];
$threshold=$row1['threshold'];
$emailSent=$row1['email_sent'];
}


if ($quantity <= $threshold && $emailSent == 0) {
mysql_query("UPDATE stock_control SET quantity=quantity - '$n_quantity', 
email_sent = '1' WHERE id = '$id' ");
} else {
mysql_query("UPDATE stock_control SET quantity=quantity - '$n_quantity' WHERE 
id = '$id' ");
}
