auto_increment - finding value assigned*solved*

Recommended Posts

Ok, i am inserting a row into a mysql table and the field `id` is automatically given a number as it is set to auto-increment.

After performing the insert, is there any way to find out what number was actually put into the id field?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

with mysql you can use the insert_id function, which can be found here - in the mysql documentation on php.net.

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php

If you have any trouble with it working, then I am sure others will be able to help - just beware that it will return the [i]last insert id[/i], so if you are running two inserts (info into two tables) it will return the id for the second table, NOT the first.
