Hello,  
I would like to take one post and insert it in 2 differet tables in mysql.

I thought this would work, but it either inserts the first one or the second one. Can anyone help?

$sql=“INSERT INTO `da_polls` (`Title`, `Description`, `Usrid`, `Group_ID`, `Value_1`, `Value_2`, `Value_3`, `Value_4`, `Value_5`, `Time`)  
VALUES (’$\_POST[Title]’,’$\_POST[Description]’,’$\_POST[Usrid]’,’$\_POST[Group\_ID]’,’$\_POST[Value\_1]’,’$\_POST[Value\_2]’,’$\_POST[Value\_3]’,’$\_POST[Value\_4]’,’$\_POST[Value\_5]’,NOW())”;

$sql=“INSERT INTO `da_conversations` (`Title`, `Description`, `Usrid`, `groupid`, `Time`)  
VALUES (’$\_POST[Title]’,’$\_POST[Description]’,’$\_POST[Usrid]’,’$\_POST[Group\_ID]’,NOW())”;
