Question

i have this function insert ()

the function insert data in the table users and sent an email.

I need to terminate a previous state before create another one, correct?
so, i need to store the activation link in another table, the activationLinks table.

i can make something like this? i think the code below doesn’t work.

($sql = $db -> prepare("INSERT INTO users, activationLinks (username, email, password) (link) VALUES (?, ?, ?) (?)"));

basically the question, is that i need store data in two different tables, but in the same function.
thanks

Answer 1

Like mentioned in the comments: Just send two separate INSERT-queries

INSERT INTO users ...
INSERT INTO activationLinks ...

You may also wrap them into a transaction

START TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO users ...
INSERT INTO activationLinks ...
COMMIT;
