trying to insert data from another table

Question

I have a table where user inserts data and the user id should be automatically added to the table which he is accessing.

$sql = "INSERT INTO leadinform (lead_compname,lead_add,lead_city,lead_compno,lead_cp,lead_cpd,lead_cpno,lead_cpemail,prodtype,prodmodel,value,clodate,uid) VALUES ('$leadname','$leadadd','$leadcity','$leadcompno','$leadcpname','$leadcpdesig', '$leadcpno','$leadcpmail','$prodtype', '$model','$value','$clodate') SELECT admin.uid FROM admin where admin.username = '$user_check' ";

This is the code I am using but it doesnt seem to work.

where am I wrong ?

Answer 1

Use this:

$sql = "INSERT INTO leadinform 
(lead_compname,lead_add,lead_city,lead_compno,lead_cp,lead_cpd,lead_cpno,lead_cpemail,prodtype,prodmodel,value,clodate,uid)
SELECT '$leadname','$leadadd','$leadcity','$leadcompno','$leadcpname','$leadcpdesig', '$leadcpno','$leadcpmail','$prodtype', '$model','$value','$clodate', admin.uid
FROM admin
WHERE admin.username = '$user_check'"

And please check insert-select .
