    <p>You should create a trigger, something like that:</p> <pre><code>CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name BEFORE INSERT ON table FOR EACH ROW SET slug = CONCAT(NEW.title, "-", NEW.id); </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure you'll be able to access the ID column before its written on the database (unless, of course, you generate your IDs yourself, not using the autoincrement).</p> <p>If you're using your DB's autoincrement (and you should be), try creating a trigger AFTER INSERT, and updating your row in your trigger. That way, even though you're updating it AFTER your insert, it'll still run before you can run any other queries (like a SELECT).</p> <p><a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-trigger.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> is the documentation on triggers.</p> <hr> <p>I was wrong. Apparently, you can't update a table you're inserting into (using an AFTER INSERT triger), it'll throw an exception. So, two possible ways to do it using SQL alone:</p> <p>The ugly way:</p> <pre><code>DELIMITER $$ CREATE TRIGGER `create_slug` BEFORE INSERT ON `events` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SET new.id = (SELECT MAX(id) FROM events) + 1; SET new.slug = CONCAT(new.menu_name, "-", new.id); END$$ DELIMITER ; </code></pre> <p>It overrides your database's AUTOINCREMENT. Really, don't do that.</p> <p>Or, you can create a procedure:</p> <pre><code>DELIMITER $$ CREATE PROCEDURE insert_event(MenuName VARCHAR(30), Content TEXT, PhotoName TEXT) BEGIN INSERT INTO events (menu_name, content, photo_name) VALUES (MenuName, Content, PhotoName); SET @id = LAST_INSERT_ID(); UPDATE events SET slug = CONCAT(menu_name, "-", @id) WHERE id = @id; END$$ DELIMITER ; </code></pre> <p>And, instead of calling (as you were calling):</p> <pre><code>$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO events (menu_name, content, photo_name) VALUES ('{$menu_name}', '{$content}', '{$photo_name}');", $connection); </code></pre> <p>just call</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query("CALL insert_event('{$menu_name}', '{$content}', '{$photo_name}');",$connection ); </code></pre> <p>Again, I'll strongly advice against using mysql_query. It's outdated, discontinued and unsafe. You should check out mysqli or PDO.</p>

    2. COYou are welcome. Also remember to create a trigger when you update the row (or else, if you change your 'title', you'll still be stuck with your previous slug). Try it out and if it works, please remember to come back and accept the answer :)

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
