I have no idea how you got here but there is no reason to do it that
way. This will work just fine and I do it every day in php.
However I don't use mysqli I still use ...
mysql_connect
mysql_select_db
mysql_real_escape_string
mysql_query
Don't forget to use the mysql_real_escape_string function to be sure sql
injection can't happen.
<?php
$dbc=mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','test')or die('Error
connecting to
MySQL server');
$query="INSERT INTO name(fname, lname)"."VALUES('$fname','$lname')";
$result=mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
$query="INSERT INTO address (street, town, state,
zip)"."VALUES('$street','$town','$state','$zip')";
$result=mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
mysqli_close($dbc);
?>

Thank you for your response. It gave me the idea how to solve this, and it
seemed to have worked!
For those following hoping to see a solution, what I did was open the
connection, insert into one table, closed the connection, closed the php
script, and the data was inserted into 2 of the tables... The code looks
like this:
$dbc=mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','test')or die('Error connecting to
MySQL server');
$query="INSERT INTO name(fname, lname)"."VALUES('$fname','$lname')";
$result=mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
mysqli_close($dbc);
?>
<?php
$dbc=mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','test')or die('Error connecting to
MySQL server');
$query="INSERT INTO address (street, town, state,
zip)"."VALUES('$street','$town','$state','$zip')";
$result=mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
mysqli_close($dbc);
?>
It seems a bit redundant for php, but it seems to work.
If by the way anyone sees a problem with this solution, I would love to read
it.
Again, thank you for your response.

It is not a question of multiple tables, it is a question of multiple
statements. Most PHP configurations prohibit the application of more
than one statement per call to execute. This is generally thought to
be a security issue as the vast majority of simple PHP-based SQL
injection attacks only work on servers that allow multiple statements.
I haven't been deep in PHP land for a little while, but I think you
will find the default driver/config is expressly preventing you from
doing this.

You should read your answers before you post, the SA link did not provide
the answer. Had you read the page you sent, you would notice it does not
apply to mulitple tables...

Seriously...
I found the answer in the first result.

Assuming mysqli, if you are using a different driver, then google that

is it mysqli query or 'multi_query'?

I am experimenting with multiple tables, it is only a test that is my
local machine only. This is the current code, which does not work , I
have tried to concatonate the insert statements. I have tried multiple
$query variables, but it is just overwriting itself (only the last one
gets inserted). I also tried writing the $query as an array, which got
me
an error message (saying it was expecting a string and I offered an
array).
Someone point me in the right direction?

It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a
man
who, not being able to find any other fault with his coal, complained
that
there were too many prehistoric toads in it.
