Hello - I've got a simple MySQL/PHP database set up with 3 tables plus a "relationship" table (using phpMyAdmin.) The end result is for students to be able to dynamically find out what books are required for their classes by selecting; term ---> course ---> instructor ---> (results)
The tables look like this: BOOKS bookID (primary auto increm) skuID (unique) text_title text_author price status CLASSES classID (primary auto increm) course_number course_name term bookID (foreign key from BOOKS) INSTRUCTORS instrID (primary auto increm) name CLASS_BOOKS (relationship table) ID (primary auto increm) bookID (foreign key from BOOKS) classID (foreign key from CLASSES) instrID (foreign key from INSTRUCTORS) The standard rules apply: Multiple books for instructors Multiple instructors for classes Multiple books for classes etc. I've successfully set up and linked separate admin pages in Dreamweaver to submit data into the 3 primary tables and they work just fine. (Yes, I'm a newbie letting Dreamweaver do most of my coding.) My question is how do i get the primary keys from each of those 3 tables to feed their info into the relationship table "class_books"? (I saw something in the phpMyAdmin documentation about configuring it to "link" tables(?)) Or do I even need to? Is it accomplished though coding in the mysql table or through PHP code? Does someone know a tutorial example of this already being done somewhere? I'm so confused. Sorry for the long post but I'm trying to be as clear as possible. Of course, I'm on a deadline and need to get this worked out pretty quickly.
