Hi, I was wondering how I would insert a value which is present in another table, specifically, this is a member_id field from a main members table which acts as a foreign key in this table (Although I know this not truly possible in MySQL). I think this attempted, although non functional, insert statement describes what it is I'm trying to do:
INSERT INTO skills (member_id, name, schooling, certifications, description) VALUES (members.max(member_id),'$skill_name','$schooling','$certifications','$s kill_description')"; Would I be best to select this before hand with PHP and somehow store the result in a variable and then insert it? Thanks very much for the help.
