Hi all, Could you please help me out on this one. I want to create a web site using two tables. 1. page_creation - Stores page_id and page_name to be shown on all navigation bars. 2. pages - Contains pg_id, page_id, etc etc. I want to do an insert into page_creation to create a new page and then pass the page_id to pages, so I know the info stored in "pages" relates to a certain page (one to many relationship). In the code below I want this to be an "Add a New web Page" where the user types in a Page Name shown in the nav bar and it enters data as above. I have been trying for three days now with different methods and it is driving me mad. Thank you in advance for your assistance <? if ($page_name) { $host="db9.pair.com"; $user="c3po"; $password="13Balreask"; $dbasename="c3po_test"; mysql_pconnect("$host","$user","$password") or die("Unable to connect to SQL server"); mysql_select_db("$dbasename") or die("Unable to select database"); $sql1 = "INSERT INTO page_creation pagename"; $sql1 = "values('$page_name')"; $result = mysql_query($sql1); $sql2 = "INSERT INTO pages page_id values('$result'); $result2 = mysql_query($sql2); } else { ?> <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <FORM ACTION="test_2_tables.php" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT name="page_name" VALUE="<?echo $page_name ?>" SIZE=20> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Add a New Page"> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> <? } ?> Lisa Rubanowicz Case ITC, Navan, Ireland Tel: #353 (0)46 77663 lisa.rubanowicz@cnh.com <mailto:lisa.rubanowicz@cnh.com>
