multiple-to-one relationship mysql, submissions
- by Yulia
Hello,
I have the following problem. Basically I have a form with an option to submit up to 3 images. Right now, after each submission it creates 3 records for album table and 3 records for images. I need it to be one record for album and 3 for images, plus to link images to the album. I hope it all makes sense...
Here is my structure.
TABLE `albums` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `fullname` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `created_at` datetime NOT NULL,
  `theme_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `description` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `vote_cache` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=20 ;
TABLE `images` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `album_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
and my code
function create_album($params)
    {
       db_connect();
         $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO albums set
                                         albums.title = '%s',
                                                                     albums.email = '%s',
