Insert product in db

[ovy79ro]

Hello,

 

I am working now at a script that insert products from an xml files. As i know, the id's from tables ps_product and ps_product_lang (and others) must correspond (foreign keys). My script will be like this:

 

foreach ............

 

$sql_1 = "INSERT ON `ps_product` (`id_supplier`, `id_manufacturer`, `id_tax_rules_group`,.........) VALUES ('abc', 'cde', '1',..........);

............................

$sql_2 = "INSERT ON `ps_product_lang` (`id_product`, `id_lang`, `description`,.........) VALUES ('???', '6', 'bla bla vla',..........);

........................................

 

On $sql_2, when insert on ps_product_lang, in column id_product i must insert same id_product from table ps_product. How can i do that? I know i must (or not) use sintax INSERT using SELECT from, but i don't know how to do that.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Check this http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.insert-id.php

Thanks, but i don't see how this function can help me. Maybe LAST_INSERT_ID():

 

$value = "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM `ps_product`";

$sql_2 = "INSERT ON `ps_product_lang` (`id_product`, `id_lang`, `description`,.........) VALUES ('$value', '6', 'bla bla vla',..........);

 

I will try this cod.

Well, you just put a short piece of code.

 

If you are going to execute those queries using php mysqli, that function will do what you want.

 

But using LAST_INSERT_ID() directly in the query is also quite good idea

i try to use code:

$value = "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM `ps_product`";

$sql_2 = "INSERT INTO `ps_product_lang` (`id_product`, `id_lang`, `description`,.........) VALUES ('$value', '6', 'bla bla vla',..........);

but it doesn't work. it work only if i set id_product auto_increment in ps_product_lang table. is something wrong if I set id_product auto_increment in ps_product_lang table?
