Boxerman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi guys, I'm using a twitter script that grabs the title and publishings it like so: "Title - Read More at..." I was wondering how i would be able to post the direct link into twitter.. like news.php?id=1 for example. $tweet->post('statuses/update', array('status' => ''.$_POST[title].' - more at MY URL')); This part is in the script to publish automatically when the users adds to the news database. How am i able to get the ID just after the posting of the news? Thanks!

scootstah Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If I'm understanding you correctly, you want mysqli_insert_id or the equivalent.
