PHP :: How To Get Last Insert ID In MYSQL Table

Multiple Table Insert With Php Mysql
I am having and issue getting this code working. It seems rather simple but I cannot figure out why only one sql statement is exectuing and the insert statements the other 2 are not exectuting and updating the other 2 tables. I need to do this. I need to update one table, then from that I need to retrieve the mysql_insert_id or just get the id of the last record in the tabe.

There is an auto increment column that gets assigned a unique id each time a record is inserted. I need this id number then I need it to place data into 2 other tables that will use this value as a reference. here is the code:

I've got a form in which a couple of the address fields can be empty when the form is submitted... I haven't actually managed to get the Insert statement to work yet (see other post..), but I know this seems to also be causing problems. I have set up the table fields for these 2 address form fields to be Yes under the NULL column, but it still gives the almighty:

Insert Into Table Using For Loop
i managed to get bits a pieces and managed to get this script to nearly work. I put together this script which a)gets a no. of fields to create 2) creates those fields 3) on submission it checks for blank fields & may display error msg 4) also it checks in the db for duplicates & may display error msg 5) if all good it submits to db.

Here comes my dilemma. 1, 2, 3 and 4 work fine however the final part 5 doesnt work at all. 5 works if 3 and 4 are taken away for some reason. I am sure there i am missing something. Can someone please take on the challenge and direct me to where i could be going wrong. PHP Code:

Mulitiple Table Insert
I have a table that when you add a new department it will add the name to the table and assign the row and id based on an auto_increment column. From there you need to get the value of the last insert id. SO what I did was use the msql_insert_is() function. and assigned it to a variable.

I then used that variable in my next query because this vaule is a forigen key in another table. Here is my code it should be exectued if you where to post this page with the value of $department_id = "" then the section of script in question will execture. Essentially need it to grab this id number and then place it into 2 more insert statements that should execute immediately after the first insert statement.

Then only insert id that I would need is the one produced in the first insert statement what an auto increment value is assigned to the same table as the department_name Code:

How Do You Insert A Value From Drop Down List To SQL Table?
I am a bit new to PHP and SQL so this may seem like a dumb question.

I have already created a drop down list as part of a form which is
automatically populated with values taken from a separate database. When a
user goes onto this page and either leaves the default value or selects a
value from the drop down list and presses the submit button, I would like
that selected value to be stored into a database which I have already
created in SQL.

Just to let you know that I can do the above using a text field but just
don't know how to do it with drop down list.

If your going to explain any coding then it may help if I give you the names
of certain items that are involved.

Database is called "Company"
Field within database is called "Name"

Insert Into Microsoft Access Table Using ODBC
The following lines of code don't return an error but they also do not insert the row into the database:

$SQLText="Insert into member (MailingID, MemberID, [File As], EMail, LetterID, AudienceID, DateSent, Sent) Select $MailingCode, $row[0], '".$row[5]."', '".$row[6]."', $LIDToInsert, $AIDToInsert, '".$DateSent."', 1;";

print ' '.$SQLText;

$rs_upd=odbc_exec($link, $SQLText);

if (!$rs_upd) die("Couldn't update database");

I've tested the resulting $SQLText string in Access directly and it works find there so this must be a PHP or ODBC issue.

Insert New Row In Table After 5 Lines - Detect Whole Number?

Multiple Table Insert From Tab Delimited File
I have a page I'm coding for batch updates from a tab delimited file. Each row has data that has to be checked against and inserted/updated on different tables in my mySQL database.

How would I go about parsing through the tab delimited file and then storing data between the tabs in order to insert individually into separate tables??

Here's what I have so far...

$contents = file('/myfile.txt');

for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($contents); $i++) {

$line = trim($contents[$i]);
$arr = explode(" ", $line);

$line[$i] = array('ID' => $arr[0], 'Record_Type' => $arr[1], 'First_Name' => $arr[2], 'MI' => $arr[3], 'Last_Name' =>
$arr[4], 'Firm' => $arr[5], 'Address' => $arr[6], 'type' => rtrim($arr[13]));

I need to take the different columns.. ID, Record_Type, etc. and update different tables with each value where the IDs match.

Multi Table Insert Delete Select Function Needed.
I am going nuts here and I know with all the functions out there, there must be an easier way to do this. Maybe someone can point me to the right tutorial or even show me how to do this.

Using PHP To Sort Data In MySQL Table 1 By Values In Table 2
I have a MySQL database with 2 tables in it. products and prices.. Products has a field in it called 'prodno'. Prices has a field in it called 'prodid'.

There is one of each item in products and each product has it's own unique 'prodno'

There are multiple instances of each product's pricing in prices.. One for each price.. So if a product had multiple prices depending on quantity it would have an entry for each price.. Example:

id = 1
prodid = 7001
qty = 300
price = 12.5

id = 2
prodid = 7001
qty = 400
price = 15.5

I was wondering if I could query the database getting info from the products table but sort it according to the prices in the prices table.

Kinda like doing a "SELECT * FROM products" ordering it by the lowest price value from each item..

This is all very confusing to me, and I'm the one writing it. Let's try one last time..

Query the database selecting * from products (I plan on using all the info in products) and ordering them by the lowest price for each item in the prices table. I've tried sorting the results of just a basic SELECT * FROM products using Javascript and PHP but with pagination in the results it makes it a bit hard.

Insert Into MYSQL Using PHP
I'm having problems with a form I've created to insert or update into a MySQL database using PHP. The fields (some are varchar and some are text) sometimes contain single or double quotes or slashes or '¿' and some other special characters. These seem to throw off the INSERT process in one way or another. Either that or when I got to display this information, it doesn't come out right. Are there functions that I need to run on the information to make this database safe before I INSERT (or UPDATE) or before I display it?

$Insert_query = mysql_db_query( "INSERT INTO $Table_result VALUES('$Item_Name', $Item_Price)" );

Problem With MySQL INSERT
I am trying to create a user interface to add/delete news.Here is my code:

Insert Into Mysql Database
It sounds very simple, but for some reason I just can't figure it out, and it will save a lots of time to me, if someone can direct me into the right direction. I was trying to input data into mysql table through post method, but it was not working. I made it simple and just tried to enter anything from a php file, but it does not work, so there is something that i am doing wrong with the insertion query.

$link = mysql_connect($hostName, $userName, $password);
echo("connected");

mysql_select_db($databaseName, $link);
echo("database selected");
echo ($databaseName);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO image VALES('','','','','','','','','', 'hello', '', '', '','','','','')", $link);

echo ("done");

I am trying to enter into one of those fields, but it does not populate the table in mysql database.

PHP -> MySQL Insert Statement
heres what i am using : Code:

if (($p1 == $p2) && ($p1 != " ")) {print "accepted";
print " entering you into the database....";
$enter = 'INSERT INTO member(name, psw) VALUES("$name", "$p1")'
$goenter = mysql_query($enter) or die("Entery Failed due to " . mysql_error());}
else {print " Password did not match, try again!";}} ?>

now heres the problem : when it writes to the table (all the db selection etc is fine) all that gets written is : "$name" and "$p1"

literally $name and $p1 *** not their values. I have tried combinations of quotes ( as " " will interpolate but ' ' will not) but still no dice. and w/o the quotes around the values ("$name" , "p1") --- it will return an error stating the colum ($name value) does not exsist.

Return The Key From Last Mysql Insert
How do I return the auto incremented value of the primary key from a tuple that I have just inserted into a MySql database. If that is not quite clear enough then this long winded explanation should explain what I mean: Say I have a MySql table called "n" with two columns:

1: id = Autonumber - Primary Key
2: name = Text

If I insert a tuple with the following mysql command using a PHP interface:

Quote: INSERT INTO `n` ( `name`) VALUES ('Paul Smith')

Then a tuple with with values say (34,Paul Smith) will exist in the MySql table. 34 is the value of the auto generated primary key. The question is how can I find this value 34, which is the primary key, without running a statement like :
Quote: SELECT * FROM `n` WHERE `name` = 'Paul Smith'

MySQL INSERT Problem
I am trying to insert data into the fields id and term of the table
key. id is an auto-incrementing field.

Each of the following forms fails:-

INSERT INTO key (id, term) VALUES (0, 'dog')

INSERT INTO key ('id', 'term') VALUES (0, 'dog')

INSERT INTO 'key' ('id', 'term') VALUES (0, 'dog')

INSERT INTO 'key' (id, term) VALUES (0, 'dog')

mysql_error() returns messages of the following form:-

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'key (id,
term) VALUES (0, 'dog')' at line 1

What is wrong with the syntax?

Also - is it more efficiont to run one query with multiple inserts or multiple queries with one insert.

Default Value To Insert Into MySQL
What should I insert as the default value if a form field is blank? My fields don't currently accept null.

if($_POST['height']) {
// error checking

$height = '';
}
Should $height be equal to '', NULL, or maybe 'NULL'? I'm thinking 'NULL' incase I or someone else decides to change the field to accept null?

MySQL: Insert...select - Update?
I was reading about insert select
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/insert-select.html

Thought this may be a better way to perform a query I'm doing. The differenc is that I need td select from one field, and then update another field in the same record (it is a backup/undo field).

Is there a way to do this in one query? It's a large chunk of data (longtext) so I thought this would be faster than the alternative...

Mysql Insert Statements Problem
i've created a site locally on my machine using php 4 and mysql3 all working fine, however having bought a new laptop i decided to upgrade to php 5 and mysql 5. i've sorted any other problems i had but bizarrely none of my mysql insert statements throughout the site work any more? they worked before? is there a syntax change to inserts or something that i'm missing?

Php/mysql Insert, Update, Delete All-in-one
I have a check box form in an admin area, that links various related tables into one.

These check box results are stored in an array, and then looped, there are in fact four groups of arrays, but the array length could become large (i.e. dozens - not hundreds)

The issue I have is that from the one form multiple things need to occur.

- If a box is checked and the record doesn't exist a new record needs to be inserted.
- If a box is checked and the record does exist, it should be ignored (as it already exists).
- If the box is unchecked and the record exists, it should be deleted.
- If the box is unchecked and the record doesn't exist it should be ignored (the record doesn't exists).

I'm looking for the logic and process (rather than being hand fed code ) Can this be done with 1 (or more likely 2) sql statements. Or do I have to loop thru the arrays, checking the existance and then applying a specific sql statement depending upon checked status and the records existance. Someone mentioned using IF() in the sql statement, but I am not familiar with that one.
