using mysql_insert_id() to generate URLs with '?id= '

[ntroycondo]

I'm trying to finalize a project that connects tables within a DB.

 

My given example has table of products and a table of product reviews. I've seen use of create php pages that reference an ID such as http://example.net/model.php?id=33 that links to http://example.net/reviewmodel.php?id=33 and http://example.net/deletemodel.php?id=33 where the ID in the URL (33 in my example) always references the same product in the different tables.

 

I am thinking that mysql_insert_id() is the tool used to keep these ID numbers in reference?

I've looked on google for some examples or tutorial on this type of php script/mysql but haven't had any luck.

 

Any ideas, hints, advice, comments are greatly appreciated and needed.

Manual entry for mysql_insert_id should tell you what it does.
