Hi guys,

I'm having a really terrible problem with my mysql coding and I'ld appreciate 
any help I can get on this cause it's really driving me crazy.

I have two tables and I've succeeded in creating a one to many relationship 
between both table but the problem I'm having is that I dont know how to put 
the value of the foreign key into the table. The tales are as below:

N.B: I'm using php-mysql

//Table 1

$result= mysql_query("CREATE TABLE tbl1 (tbl1_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL 
AUTO_INCREMENT,

                                                                     PRIMARY 
KEY(tbl1_id),

                                                                     entrytitle 
VARCHAR(50),

                                                                      entrytext 
TEXT) ENGINE=InnoDB")

 

//Table2

$result = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE tbl2 (tbl2_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL 
AUTO_INCREMENT,

                                                                     PRIMARY 
KEY(tbl2_id),

                                                                     tbl1_id 
INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,

                                                                     name 
VARCHAR(50),

                                                                     title 
VARCHAR(50),

                                                                      comment 
TEXT,

                                                                      INDEX 
(tbl1_id),

                                                                      FOREIGN 
KEY(tbl1_id) REFERENCES tbl1(tbl1_id))ENGINE=InnoDB")

 

Now I have successfully created a relationship between the two tables but how 
do I make sure the value of tbl1_id in tbl1 is equal to the value of tbl1_id in 
tbl2???

Thanks in anicipation of your useful suggestions.
