Getting Multiple Insert IDs


cyberRobot

Recommended Posts

Is there any way to get multiple IDs when performing an INSERT statement which inserts more than one row?

Our INSERT statement looks something like:
[code]
INSERT INTO authors (name, org, title, email, phone) VALUES ('name1', 'org1', 'title1', 'email1', 'phone1'), ('name2', 'org2', 'title2', 'email2', 'phone2');
[/code]


I normally use:
[code]
mysql_insert_id()
[/code]

...to get the insert id, but this only gives me the ID for the first insert.


Thanks

why dont you try something like this:

[code]

$name[0] = "Bob";
$org[0] = "Builders Ltd";
$title[0] = "Mr";
$email[0] = "bob@buildersltd.com";
$phone[0] = "01578968345";

for ($i=0; $i < $number_of_inserts; $i++) {
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO authors VALUES ('$name[$i]','$org[$i]','$title[$i]','$email[$i]','$phone[$i]'");
$id_list[$i] = mysql_insert_id();
}

foreach ($id_list as $id) {
echo $id . "<br>";
}

I already have something like that, but I would like to get away from all the for loops. I have one loop to read the info from the online form, another to store the info to the database, and another one to strip the slashes from the input and print the info to the screen.
