如何在mysql php中的外键列上允许空值？

Question

I have mysql table users . In the registration form country is compulsory but district is not compulsory. Both are foreign key column.

So some user keep empty the district field. Than what & how should i pass district_id from ajax, if district is blank?

I have already set null the district_id null & passing "null" value for district_id column. But error is incorrect integer value for district_id column.

Pls. suggest an idea.

Answer 1

如果表字段已经用“NULL”属性检查过，只是你没有向该列传递任何值

Answer 2

a primary key cannot be null. You can create a "special" record in district table to represent a value when there is not value setted from user.
