hallo rolf, your idea is good, but its better you have a function that remove inserts, if any inserts failed. if you have mysql comiled under bsd or your mysql like immoDB your can take this with "ROLLBACK" function. if your mysql isn't comiled like this, you must rollback over a own rollback function.

Users register, and after submitting there are multiple tables that need inserts. What is the best way to do this? speedwise, efficiencywise, codewise? (pseudo code) A) $sql[]='insert1'; $sql[]='insert2'; $sql[]='insert3'; foreach($sql as $doMe){ mysql_query($doMe);//i left safety checks aside for clarity } B)$sql='insert1'; mysql_query($sql); $sql='insert2'; mysql_query($sql); $sql='insert3'; mysql_query($sql); I'd prefer the first method, as it makes for easier updating of the queries in a centralized place. but I am wondering what your methods are, and any advantages or disadvantages known to you. thanks a lot -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
