Question

If I have two different MySQL insert functions in a document going to two different tables, how can I get the id of one record and place it in the other table?

Answer 1

you can get the last insert id by mysql_insert_id() function and then use it.

For example your first Insert query is

$insertqry1 = mysql_query("insert into tbl_name values(..,...,..)");
$lastinsertid   = myqsl_insert_id();

Your second Query will be

$insertqry2 = mysql_query("insert into tbl_name(id) values('$lastinsertid')");
