I have constructed a function where two queries are performed. Both of these queries insert data into two separate tables, data that is related to the registration of a user. In one table things like username,password are held and in the other table stuff like address, phone etc... Here is the function:
function register_biz_user($post,$connection)
{
$name=$connection-> real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$lastname= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['lastname']);
$pass_hashed = password::hash($_POST['password']);
$passwd= $connection->real_escape_string($pass_hashed);
$buztype= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['buztype']);
$usertype= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['usertype']);
$address= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['address']);
$city= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['city']);
$municipality= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['municipality']);
$url= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['wwwaddress']);
$email= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['e-mail']);
$phone= $connection->real_escape_string($_POST['phone']);
$hash =$connection->real_escape_string(md5( rand(0,1000) )) ;
$connection->set_charset("utf8");
$result1 = $connection->query("insert into users values
(NULL,'" .$name. "','" .$lastname . "','".$email."','". $passwd."','".
$hash."','". $usertype."')");
if (!$result1) {
throw new Exception('error');
return false;
}
else{$result2=$connection->query("insert into business_users values
('".$connection->insert_id."','" .$address."','".$url ."','".$phone.
"','".$city. "','".$municipality. "','".$buztype. "')");
}
if(!$result2)
{ throw new Exception('error');
return false;}
return true; }
And here is my problem: If you look at the code you might notice that there is the problem that the 1st query runs without problem and the second throws an exception or vice verca.
My point is that there is the danger that the db WILL have ONLY partial data of the registered user. The goal is that either both queries run successfully or none runs.
How I must write the above code such that I can achieve the above statement?
I hope I was clear enough.
