If you have the field set as auto_increment the you don't need to do
anything else. Let nature take it's course. :)
try:
insert into player_table(player_name) values ('$player_name');

Subject: auto_increment and last_insert_value()
I have a table that I created that has a primary key field that should be
auto_incremented. To fill in this value I am calling
insert into player_table(playerid, player_name) values (LAST_INSERT_ID() +
1, '$player_name');
My problem is that I'm getting duplicated key values because last_insert_id
is always 0. Anyone know what the problem might be? The field is indexed
by the way.
Thanks in advance for your help!
