Question

PHP MySQL SELECT INSERT

I have a registration page with a html form. I have created an insert record server behavior that insert all the data into a MySQL database table fine. What I like to do additionally is to insert the data from a single row, actually the last row, into another table in the same mysql database. I have heard of MySQL insert-select but I can't seem to make it work on my own.  Is insert-select possible with Dreamweaver? If not, what should I use?

I appreciate any help

Inserting all data into another table is redundant. You only need to pass the primary key to a new table when necessary and use the JOIN argument in your query to JOIN data from seperate tables for one user.

Sorry if I was misleading. I like to pass the data from 3 columns of the last row of the table to another table.

Show us the select insert statement that you tried and is not working. As TS stated, inserting redundant data is usually not necessary, but there are definitely exceptions.
