使用PDO将数据提交到两个mysql表

Question

Is it possible to submit data to two tables with the same query?

My existing code looks like this:

private function adduser() {

    if (!empty($this->error)) return false;

    $params = array(
        ':user_level' => parent::getOption('default-level'),
        ':name'       => $this->name,
        ':email'      => $this->email,
        ':username'   => $this->username,
        ':password'   => parent::hashPassword($this->password)
    );

    parent::query("INSERT INTO `login_users` (`user_level`, `name`, `email`, `username`, `password`)
                    VALUES (:user_level, :name, :email, :username, :password);", $params);

I didn't write this code so it is a bit confusing to me as I don't usually use PDO. What I would like to do in addition to this is add two values to my 'url_alias' table, the first is the UID (which is auto incremented from the first query) and the second is another variable value.

All of the examples I have found while searching dont seem to work for me because of the way this existing code looks.

Can anyone give me a hand?

It doesn't matter what db driver your are using (PDO, Mysqli, etc.) you question is purely about mysql capabilities. Mysql may update and delete rows from multiple tables in a single query but not insert. Ie INSERT table_1, table_2 ... is not allowed.

You have to run one query for each table you want to insert data.
