How to insert data into multiple table in mySQL?

i just know this one:

$sql="insert into daily_quest(content,date,answer) values('$content','$date','$answer')";

and is there any configuration for the primary or foreign key in mysql database design?

thx for your attention....

Can you give more information? I'm not sure if I know the answer, but I also don't completely understand the question.
It sounds like you could do this using two different queries, but you want to combine these queries into a single query-- is that right?
If so, can you write out both queries so that someone can try to show you how to combine them?

yup like what u mention, i want to combine 2 insert query into 1 query, this is the example:

	$date = date("d-m-y");
	$id_quest = $_POST['txtidquest'];
	$id_answer = $_POST['txtidanswer'];
	$content = $_POST['txtcontent'];
	$answer = $_POST['txtanswer'];
	$answer1 = $_POST['txtanswer1'];
	$answer2 = $_POST['txtanswer2'];
	$answer3 = $_POST['txtanswer3'];
	$answer4 = $_POST['txtanswer4'];
	$answer5 = $_POST['txtanswer5'];
	$answer6 = $_POST['txtanswer6'];

$sql="insert into daily_quest(id_daily_quest,content,date,answer) values('$id_quest','$content','$date','$answer')";
$sql2="insert into daily_quest_ans (id_daily_quest_ans,answer1,answer2,answer3,answer4,answer5,answer6) values('$id_answer','$answer1','$answer2','$answer3','$answer4','$answer5','$answer6')";

it's ok to use 2 insert, i just want to know how to combine it, i already search and see example but i still don't figure it out, how it work, i hope u can give an example... thx

If you separate the statements with a semi-colon, you can execute them as "one query".

INSERT INTO tbl(field, field) VALUES(val, val); INSERT INTO tbl2(field2, field2) VALUES(val2, val2);

You will need to look into merging the two tables into a temporary fake table. You can't query two tables at once, but you can create a very complex query that would merge two tables then be able to query it.
In my opinion it's a lot easier to just deal with the data after in PHP or whatever other language you're using.
