Database INSERT, combining SELECT and VARIABLES

[PAGO]

Hey,

I come right to the problem. I tried to do an Insert. It contains a Select where i retrieve Data from another Table and Variables.

 

 

$sqlbestellungen = "INSERT INTO bestellungen (bestellung_id_kunde, datum, lieferzeit, bestellung, summe)
        VALUES
        ((SELECT id_kunde FROM kunde WHERE email = '$email'),
        NOW(),
        '$lieferzeit',
        '$bestellung',
        '$summe')";
        mysqli_query($con,$sqlbestellungen);

 

 

When I write the query only with the Select, without "VALUES" and without the Variables, it works.

When I write the query only with the Variables, with "VALUES", it works too.

 

I just can't combine them. and when i write two seperate INSERTS it makes two rows. And I need to have it in one.

 

Thanks in advance,

Not sure on INSERT SELECT try

$sqlbestellungen = "INSERT INTO bestellungen (bestellung_id_kunde, datum, lieferzeit, bestellung, summe)
SELECT id_kunde,  NOW(),  '$lieferzeit', '$bestellung', '$summe'  FROM kunde WHERE email = '$email'";

Yeah, can't use a SELECT for only some of the values. As Ch0cu3r showed, just use a SELECT for all the values of the record and just use hard coded values in the field list for those that you want to specifically set.

Great! it works.

This method just didn't make sense for me, because the part till "from..." is not relevant for the variables.

 

Thank you very, helped me a lot

A select clause does not strickly require column names to be refernced, it can be made of either column names, functions and values (wrapped in quotes).
