Question

I have two tables, articles and logs. When new record is inserted into the articles table the ID of that article should be inserted into the logs table after that… How this can be done using mysql/php? Can anyone please provide an example of code?

Answer 1

one very simple example

$query = "INSERT INTO article(article_title, article_body) VALUES('some title', 'some text')";
    mysql_query($query);

$query = "INSERT INTO logs(article_id, user_id) VALUES(" . mysql_insert_id() . ", 1)";
mysql_query($query);
