Hi people
Using db as Mysql, I want to write a query to insert data into a table, say User
table, and right away after I have inserted that particular record into User table, I
want to retrive the ID for that particular record (the record that I just inserted) to
insert into another table, say UserRequest, that require to have UserID field in there
as well.
By the way, I configure the ID field in User table as auto increment, and unique key.
Can I just write a query to retrive UserID right after I have inserted user detail
into Usertable? and then assign into a variable and use that value to insert into
UserID field in another table?
like this:
$query = "insert into user values ('firstname','lastname','address','phone')";
$resultinsert = mysql_query($query);
$getID = "select userID from user"; // Will this get me the Id of the record I just
inserted?
$resultID = mysql_query($getID);
$anotherQuery = "insert into userrequest values('userID','userRequestDetail')";
$resutlrequest = mysql_query($anotherQuery);
Will it work if i did that? If not, what should I do to achieve this?
cheers
Jack
