if i post to mysql and i have a field that is an auto incremental number, and i want show the following:

 

echo "Posted successfully.  the id for this post is $id";

 

how would i get the id for what i just posted?

Do you mean just doing this:

 

//Assuming the table name is 'post' and the field containing the post ID is 'id'.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM post;");
$id = mysql_result($result, 0);

mysql_insert_id() is what you're looking for.

[flemingmike]

so can i do

 

$id=mysql_insert_id();
