Hello!

It's me again, with the magazine database : )

Is there any way to combine INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO so
one could insert a new row with a few values inserted by hand and others
from another table? something like

INSERT INTO mag_table (mag_id,issn,year,info,volume,numbers,remarks) 
VALUES  ( (SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE mag_names.name="Asdf"),
"1234-5678","2001","foobar","1-4","1-52","foobar");

I'm trying to construct myself a nice clever INSERT statement to my
web-frontend. Haven't got it to work, though. Is this even possible?
The other option would be to use three(?) mysql_query calls from my PHP-code,
but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

Cheers,
Markus
