help with inserting data to multiple mysql table based on user selection


Recommended Posts

Hi guys:)

 

i have two tables in my mysql db, english_articles and persian_articles. i want to be able to insert data into each table using only one from with dropdown menu for table names. for example, if i select persian_articles, data should go to persian_articles table and vice versa.

i would really appreciate if you helped me solve my problem and give me a code for it. i am new to php and mysql so please dnt be too technical.

Something like this?

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['table']))
{
if (intval($_POST['table']) === 1)
{
	// Insert data into english table
}
else if (intval($_POST['table']) === 2)
{
	// Insert data into persian table
}
else
{
	// Error selecting table.
}
}
?>

<html>
<head>
	<body>
		<form action="test.php" method="POST">
			<select name="table">
				<option value="1">english</option>
				<option value="2">persian</option>
			</select>
		</form>
	</body>
</head>
</html>
