Thanks for that. But it has brought up another question. I'll list the tables so you'll know what i'm on about. TABLE 1 : Album alb_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, art_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', alb_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', alb_image varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', alb_year date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', alb_genre varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (alb_id)
TABLE 2 : Artist art_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, art_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', art_details mediumtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (art_id) TABLE 3 : Songs song_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, song_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', song_lyrics mediumtext NOT NULL, song_info mediumtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (song_id) TABLE 4 : Tracks track_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, alb_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', art_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', song_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (track_id) Ok I'll be able to work out the simple part of the inserts, but what about the auto_increment parts thatt relie on the information in the other files. eg: 'artist.art_id' should be the same as 'album.art_id' the problem is that 'artist.art_id' is auto_increment and 'album.art_id' is not. So if I added an artist in the artist table and the auto_increment gave it the value of 5, how would I update the 'album.art_id' with the same value? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miles Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Barry Rumsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] multiple tables insert > Barry > > See below ... > > At 09:09 AM 1/12/2002 +1300, Barry Rumsey wrote: > >Two questions: > >1) If I have a url in the db that points to a image , how do I get php to > >get this image and display it ? > > Check the <IMG> tag in an HTML reference > > > >2) I have 4 tables in the db and would like to know of a good tutorial on > >inserting to multiple tables form a single form. > > There are many tutorials, the one I most frequently recommend is by Julie > Meloni at http://www.thickbook.com pick the one on custom error messages > as she develops it very nicely. > > As for the inserts, in the "processing" part of the script, you'll know > what I mean when you examine the tutorial, execute an INSERT for the data > you want to insert in each of the tables.
