									    VALUES ('','$firstName', '$lastName',$phoneNumber,'$emailAddress','$Address')");

   $getID = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM customer where first_name = '$firstName' and last_name  = '$lastName'");

   $num_row = mysql_num_rows($getID);
   if($num_row !=0){
	    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($getID)){
				 $_SESSION["cart_array"]["item_id"] = $itemId;
				 $_SESSION["cart_array"]["quantity"] = $qty;

									    VALUES ('',$itemid,$qty )");

	    }
   }
   ?>

As it says, you haven't defined $qty of $itemId. Where are they coming from?

 

However, I can't follow the logic of your code. What are you trying to do?

 

Finally, you should never run queries in loops.

Heres my problem. i have two data from same form that i want to insert in the different table in my database.

1. data came from the form( firstname,lastname,phonenumber etc.)

2. data came from session variable(item id, quantity, total etc)

when the customer clicks the FINISH button, the data will be insert in the two separate tables in the database.

 

Here's my screenshot of my form:

that code above is the solution to my problem.

You got 1 of 3.

 

Your code still doesn't make sense for your described problem. I think you need to use mysql_last_insert_id(), and not run a select and a loop.

You should have TWO INSERTS and that's it.

Assuming that the session data is set, you are assigning those variables incorrectly. I believe you meant this:

$itemId = $_SESSION["cart_array"]["item_id"];
$qty = $_SESSION["cart_array"]["quantity"];

 

Also, in your query, $itemid should be $itemId, as variable names are case sensitive.

 

Hopefully this gets you on the right track. And don't forget to include session_start(); at the beginning of your scripts that are making use of sessions.
