Question

I need to insert a long row with 32 fields into a MySQL table.

I’d like to do something like this:

$sql="insert into tblname values (... 32 fields ...)";

Obviously, it works fine if the fields are in the same order as the MySQL table fields. But, my table has an auto-increment id as it’s first field.

What I want is to fill in all table names but the first (id) one.

Suggestions?

Just use NULL as your first value, the autoincrement field will still work as expected:

INSERT INTO tblname VALUES (NULL, ... 32 Fields ... )
