Fluoresce Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 When I insert data into my table, an ID is automatically generated for the new row through auto-incrementation. That's the only thing that is unique to each row. I need to select some of the new data immediately, but I obviously don't know its ID. My question therefore is, is it possible to insert data and select its ID at the same time?

Festy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes it is possible. Use mysql_insert_id() to fetch the recently inserted id.
