MySQL insert to multiple tables (relational)

Question

tbl_product
Name | Creator | UID | Salerank

tbl_price
Supplier | Price | UID

I want to insert a product and then insert multiple prices into a sep

Answer 1

Make UID an auto_increment primary key on the products table, but just a regular primary key on the prices table (no auto_increment). After you insert itnto products, use the PHP command mysql_insert_id(). This will get the ID generated from the last query, which will be your UID generated on the products table. Assign it a variable and use it in your insert statement on the prices table.
