I am trying to do a couple of php insert queries into a relational database, but I am running into a bit of an issue. In order for this relation to work I need to grab the autoincremented value from the first query and then insert it into the second query so the relation between the two exists.
I have this:
$query2 = "INSERT into words
values ('' ,'$name') ";
-- The first value listed as '' is the auto-incremented primary key --
$query3 = "INSERT into synonyms
values ('' , '', $alias') ";
-- The first value listed is the auto incremented pk, the second value needs to be the fk or the pk from the first query, but I don't know how to place it there. --
Is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Here an SQL Fiddle to help y'all out:
