For those that were looking to see a solution, this is what I have come up
with. It was pointed out on another board (MySQL) that inserting multiple
in one script is probably prohibited because of security reasons.
What I did was open the connection, insert into the table, close the
connection, close the php script, then start over again. This is the code:
$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 little redundant for PHP, however it seems to work.
Thank you to everyone that responded. If by the way someone sees an issue
with this solution, I would love to read it.
