Here's my dilemma: 2 tables and 2 others that have current data in them.
The 2 tables that have the current data in them I know how to display, the problem I am having is the 2 tables I need to transfer information to have to have the same key in one location Tables: CREATE TABLE `store_orders` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `order_date` datetime default NULL, `order_name` varchar(100) default NULL, `order_address` varchar(255) default NULL, `order_city` varchar(50) default NULL, `order_state` char(2) default NULL, `order_zip` varchar(10) default NULL, `order_tel` varchar(25) default NULL, `order_email` varchar(100) default NULL, `item_total` float(6,2) default NULL, `shipping_total` float(6,2) default NULL, `authorization` varchar(50) default NULL, `status` enum('proceed','pending') default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; -- -- Table structure for table `store_orders_itemmap` -- CREATE TABLE `store_orders_itemmap` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `order_id` int(11) default NULL, `sel_item_id` int(11) default NULL, `sel_item_qty` smallint(6) default NULL, `sel_item_price` float(6,2) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; The 'id' of the 'store_orders' table HAS to be entered into 'order_id' of the 'store_order_itemmap'. I am having the problem because I can't figure out how to logically make that happen in 1 step, moving everything from the 2 tables they are currently in (a temp table of the customer information a temp table of the order'. I use the session ID to track the temporary stuff, but once they commit it to an order I need a different number. They are allowed to make multiple orders on the session ID and changing a session ID is not working for me (destroy and start on the session do nothing). HELP! TIA!!
