如何用外键一次在2个mysql表中插入数据

Question

I have 2 mysql tables tbl_account and tbl_user . I want to add data into both tables using one form. I want to insert the following,

tbl_account = account_id , account_name , secret_key

tbl_user = user_id , account_id , user_name

What i'm doing is, inserting data in tbl_account then fetching account_id from that table and then inserting that same account_id in tbl_user . I'm fetching account_id through a secret_key which I pass in the form. Is this the right way or there is any simple way to do this. Please advice

Answer 1

In my opinion it would be easier to just put it in the 2 tables rather than inserting it in the first, reading it out, and then inserting again.

So i would do something like this:

$con = mysqli_connect("host","username","password","database");
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO `tbl_account` (account_id, account_name) VALUES ('$account_id', '$account_name';");
mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO `tbl_user` (user_id , account_id, user_name) VALUES ('user_id', '$account_id', '$account_name';");
