I have a database that contains 2 tables
user
user_name,
first_name,
last_name,
address,
district_name,
village_name,
birth_date,
email_address,
specialization_id,
password,
registered_date
specialization
specialization id
specialization_name
i wrote these 2 queries to make first select the specialization_id from the specialization table that is the same in the user table
in the second query
i need to insert the specialization_id in the user table as a foreign key for the specialization table but i got an error Resource id #7
query 1
$query_select_spec = mysql_query("SELECT specialization_name FROM specialization, user WHERE user.specialization_id = specialization.specialization_id")or die(mysql_error());
echo $query_select_spec;
query 2
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO user(user_name, first_name, last_name, address, district_name, village_name, birth_date, email_address, specialization_name, password, registered_date)VALUES('$username', '$fname', '$lname', '$country', '$district', '$village', '$bdate', '$email', '$specialization', '$pass1', now())")or die("could not insert data");

anyone can help me ??

Answer 1

it's not an error, it is what mysql_query returns.
to get values, you should loop through mysql result
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
print_r($row);

Answer 2

query1= You do not have specilization_id in user field. and you are using it-user.specialization_id
try user in 2nd query instead of user as it may be a keyword.

Answer 3

$query_select_spec = mysql_query("SELECT specialization_name FROM specialization, user WHERE user.specialization_id = specialization.specialization_id")or die(mysql_error());
$row_select_spec = mysql_fetch_assoc ($query_select_spec);
$specialization = $row_select_spec['specialization_name'];
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO user(user_name, first_name, last_name, address, district_name, village_name, birth_date, email_address, specialization_name, password, registered_date)VALUES('$username', '$fname', '$lname', '$country', '$district', '$village', '$bdate', '$email', '$specialization', '$pass1', now())") or die("could not insert data");

Answer 4

First, i would advise you to refrain from using the old and obsolete mysql extension and rather upgrade to either the mysqli or the PDO extensions. What you ahve there is no error and you just need to loop through the result.
I would do that like this using the mysqli extension.
//Connect to the db using the mysql improved extension
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "password", "database");
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $mysqli->connect_errno . ") " . $mysqli->connect_error;
}
//Select spec
$query = "SELECT specialization_name FROM specialization, user WHERE user.specialization_id = specialization.specialization_id";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
//Print results
while($data = $result->fetch_assoc()){
echo'<pre>'; // Format your dump as code
var_dump($data);
}
