Once for each statement, and between the assignments: $query = ...; $mysql_db_query(...); $query = ...; $mysql_db_query(...); > I am trying to update two tables at once from a form using two Insert > statements: > > Should I be using two different variable names for $query? > Only one table > updates when I use the same name like this. 2 different > variable names > give me an error. > > $query = "INSERT INTO $table1 VALUES ('$menu_id', '$server', > '$menunumber', '$menuname')"; > $query = "INSERT INTO $table2 > VALUES('$submenuid','$submenu','$subrefmenu', '$submreflink')"; > > $result = mysql_db_query($dbname, $query); > > I use one form using one submit button: > > <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" > action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>"> > > > <INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> > <INPUT type=reset value="Reset"> > > // Display Results if there are results > if ($result) { > > MySQL error 0: menu_id: NULL > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
