Re: question about querying 2 databases in php

Hello Sudhakar,
I think you need to reformulate the logic as follows:

(1) receive user input values. this is when a user submit the registration form.
(2) check the values, if they qualify to be inserted in table1 of database1 then it means the same user values are qualifying to be inserted in table2 of database2.

now insert the values

(a) connect to database1 and insert your values
(b) connect to database2 and insert your values.

please note even if, the username and password for database1 is the same to database2. you need to connect to the database individually. thus u must call connection twice.

otherwise i hope u can use the same queries with little modifications for conn1, database1 and conn2, database2

goodluck

 i am building a registration page where a user register for a 
 username. i am able to insert this into mysql. the situation is 
 
 every time data is inserted into example table1 in mysql in 
 database1 for example at the same time i would like to extract 
 
 the username, password and email from table1 based on the last 
 inserted row and insert these values into another table ex 
 
 table2 in a different database called database2.
 
 the issue i am having is with the select query as it is not 
 returning values from table1 for me to insert those values into 
 
 table2 in database2.
 
 NOTE = the hostname, user name, password are the same for both the 
 tables and databases and are physically in 1 server 
 
 machine itself.
 
 presently my code is
 
 $conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $dbpassword);
 
 if(!$conn)
 { 
 
 }
 else
 {
 mysql_select_db($database, $conn);
 $insertqueryresult = mysql_query($insertqueryfortable1);       
 $lastid = mysql_insert_id();
 
 $selectqueryoftable1 = "Select username, password, email from table1 
 where slno = '$lastid'";
 slno is an autoincrement and primary key which is like a serial 
 number
 
 $selectunempsq = mysql_query($selectqueryoftable1);
 
 while($rowunemps = mysql_fetch_assoc($selectunempsq))
 {
 $unis = $rowunemps['username'];
 $psis = $rowunemps['password'];
 $emis = $rowunemps['email'];
 }
 
 $insertqueryfortable2 = "Insert into table2(username, password, 
 email) VALUES ('$unis', '$psis', '$emis')";
 
 $unpsemresult = mysql_query($insertqueryfortable2);
 
 the values in the 3 variables $unis, $psis, $emis are blank.
 
 i have tried 
 a) while($rowunemps = mysql_fetch_array($selectunempsq))
 b) creating the table2 in database1 itself to see if it works
 but both these methods is not working
 
 data is being inserted into table1 but i am not able to read the 
 values stored in table1 and then insert into table2. i have 
 
 used echoing the values of the 3 variables $unis, $psis, $emis 
 however the values are blank.
 
 with the insertquery for table2 everytime the insert query is 
 executed a new row is created but there are no values for the 3 
 
 fileds username, password, email in table2
 
 initially i had $conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $user, 
 $dbpassword); 2 times as the tables were in different database now i 
 
 have only 1 mysql_connect
 
 please advice how to fix this ideally both tables sitting in 
 different databases.
 
 thanks.
