How can i insert data in table with a join sql?

Question

i have 2 tables on db. First table:

users

id|name|mail|password|group

second table

scores

id|name|score

The idea is get the name from users using the id (this id already know because i get that by php), then insert a score in table scores using the name obtained by a id.

I suppose that can i do with a inner join between users and scores.

How can i do that?

Answer 1

Insert into scores(id, name, score)
    select ID, name, score(that you can pass)
    from users
    where id = (parameter pass by PHP)

Answer 2

Agree. You can simply use this:

INSERT INTO scores values (null, (select name from users where users.id= 1),100);

Replace the score and id with the values you get. Assume you have the auto increment for your ids.
