I recently asked a question about writing to multiple tables: PHP/MySQL insert into multiple data tables on submit
I have now tried out this code and there are no errors produced in the actual code but the results I am getting are strange. When a user clicks register this 'insert.php' page is called and the code can be found below.
<?php
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$institution = $_POST["institution"];
$conn = pg_connect("database connection information"); //in reality this has been filled
$result = pg_query($conn, "INSERT INTO institutions (i_id, name) VALUES (null, '$institution') RETURNING i_id");
$insert_row = pg_fetch_row($result);
$insti_id = $insert_row[0];
// INSTITUTION SAVED AND HAS ITS OWN ID BUT NO MEMBER OF STAFF ID
$resultTwo = pg_query($conn, "INSERT INTO staff VALUES (NULL, '$username', '$password', '$insti_id'");
$insert_rowTwo = pg_fetch_row($resultTwo);
$user_id = $insert_rowTwo[0];
// USER SAVED WITH OWN ID AND COMPANY ID
// ASSIGN AN INSTITUTION TO A STAFF MEMBER IF THE STAFF'S $company_id MATCHES THAT OF THE
// INSTITUION IN QUESTION
$update = pg_query($conn, "UPDATE institutions SET u_id = '$user_id' WHERE i_id = '$insti_id'");
pg_close($conn);
?>
What the result of this is just the browser waiting for a server response but there it just constantly waits. Almost like an infinite loop I'm assuming. There are no current errors produced so I think it may be down to a logic error. Any ideas?
