Hi Alugo,
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your prompt response. However, since tbl1_id has an auto_increment value in tbl1, mysql is actually generating the values for it automatically.
Ah, I see your point. I'm guessing by your code you're using PHP? If
so call mysql_insert_id() after you've inserted your record into tbl1.
That will give you the ID of the auto increment column - see the note in
the below link about bigint columns if your data type is bigint.

Hope this helps,
Andy
Yes I'm using PHP. Can it be something like
function newPost_tbl1($id, $entry, $text)
{
$conn;
$result= mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl1 (tbl1_id, entrytitle, entrytext)
VALUES ('$id','$entry', $text)',
$conn);
$tbl1_id = mysql_insert_id($conn);
}
Yep that's about it. You said that tbl1_id is an auto-increment column,
why are you including it in the insert query? You should just need
entrytitle and entrytext, then $tbl1_id will be the value of the tbl1_id
field.
I hope you've just missed out everything on the $conn line just for
short-hand, because $conn needs to be a valid connection resource
(result from mysql_connect) before passing it to mysql_query. Also on
your MySQL query line, you've started the insert command string with a
quote " but terminated it with a single apostrophe, this terminator
should also be a quote. Your $text should also be enclosed with a
single apostrophe, and don't forget to clean your input ($entry and
$text) otherwise you'll be vulnerable to SQL injection and XSS attacks.
