$sth3 = $pdo3->prepare('
    SELECT pID, C.cID, C.prefix, C.code
    FROM Department D, Course C, Professor P
    WHERE pID = ?

');
        $sth3->execute(array(
            $pID3
        ));
?>

I get submitted data that looks like this:

How do I get a value for cID to submit as well? Can someone show me what I need to put in my php?

Thanks

Answer 1

execute

$cid = mysql_insert_id();

after

$sth3->execute(array(
            $pID3
        ));
