chris17 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would appreciate any form of help to this problem: I have two tables named doctors and fields with a one to many relationship with the field being the one part and doctors the many part. My form is supposed to insert into the doctors' table and as well select has a select option the chooses from already existing fields in the fields table. The name of my foreign key in the doctors' table is "field_id". How can i this insert in the two tables?

ginerjm Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Why do you need to insert into two tables? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/286492-how-to-insert-into-two-related-tables-using-a-single-form/#findComment-1470493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris17 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for your attention. I just realized i dont have to insert into the two tables instead i would just update the foreign key that is in doctors. But how the form is to be filed is using the field names. I dont know if you can get the picture of what am trying to explain.

ginerjm Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Where is your php code? HTML does nothing for me. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/286492-how-to-insert-into-two-related-tables-using-a-single-form/#findComment-1470502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris17 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have written none yet. The only php is in the html and it pulls up all the fields in the field table to the select option. What I wish to do is to insert this into my database with respect to the selected option.
