last_insert_id is a function. It will return a value for each row in the
table. You want to run:
select last_insert_id() as lid;
instead of selecting from a table.

Subject: LAST_INSERT_ID returning 3 rows?
mysql> INSERT INTO outages (status) VALUES ('Open');
mysql> SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS lid FROM outages;
+-----+
| lid |
+-----+
| 101 |
| 101 |
| 101 |
+-----+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Why would MYSQL do this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Graeme
p.s. DESCRIBE outages;
