Question

I need to copy the data inside a field to another field. I need to copy “reg” to “reg_copy” when I insert record. Is there a way to do this inside my script?

<?
$order = "INSERT INTO reg_add ( 
connect_date, 
reg, 
reg_copy,
first_name, 
last_name)

VALUES

('$_POST[connect_date]', 
'$_POST[reg]',
'$_POST[reg_copy]',
'$_POST[first_name]', 
'$_POST[last_name]')";

$result = mysql_query($order);

if ($result) {

$reg =      $_REQUEST['reg'] ;
$first_name =   $_REQUEST['first_name'];

header("location: reg_add_success.php?reg=" . urlencode($reg) . "&first_name=" . urlencode($first_name));
}
else {
header("location: reg_add_fail.php");
}
?>

Yah, just use:

$order = "INSERT INTO reg_add set 
`connect_date` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[connect_date])."',
`reg` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[reg])."',
`reg_copy` = `reg`,
`first_name` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[first_name])."',
`last_name` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[last_name])."';

or maybe i understand your question wrong ? :/ provide more information then.
