Question

I have a mysql transaction with three queries

In the third query I am trying to pull last_insert_id values from the two previous queries.

VALUES ('".$result1[last_id]."','".$result2[last_id]."')";

But it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You should get the last insert ID first, and then inject it into the query. Assuming you’re using the mysql_ functions:

mysql_query($query1);
$id1 = mysql_insert_id();

mysql_query($query2);
$id2 = mysql_insert_id();

$query3 = "INSERT INTO ... VALUES (".$id1.", ".$id2.");";
mysql_query($query3);
