Hi, I was wondering if the way I am inserting into multiple tables is safe as far as when there are many simultaneous insertions at a given time.
Basically, there are two tables, first I insert into main table where there's username and password (and first/last name, email) and then I get the auto_number from that table for the record and insert that auto_number along with more info into secondary table with more info about the user. $query4accounts="insert into accounts (username, password, fname, lname, email) values ('$username', password('$password'), '$fname_eng', '$lname_eng', '$email')"; $result=mysql_query($query4accounts) or die ("ERROR"); $getid=mysql_query("select * from accounts where username='$username'"); $tmp=mysql_fetch_array($getid); $userid=$tmp['userid']; $query4gallery="insert into talkroom_gallery (userid, talkroom_active, sex, about_eng, livenow_eng, photograph, emailnopublic, homepage, icq, msn, aim, yahoo) values ('$userid', '$talkroom_active_variable', '$sex', '$about_eng', '$livenow_eng', '$photograph', '$nopublic', '$homepage', '$icq', '$msn', '$aim', '$yahoo')"; mysql_query($query4gallery) or die ("ERROR"); Thanks in advance for feedback and possible alternatives.
