I shall help you help yourself, for from that you will benefit in the long run, as will I. The manual has all the necessary information: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/R/CREATE_TABLE.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/e/x/example-AUTO_INCREMENT.html The unofficial FAQ has a chapter on AUTO_INCREMENT: http://www.bitbybit.dk/mysqlfaq/faq.html#ch6_0_0 What you're looking for is probably LAST_INSERT_ID(), but I'll let you find it yourself.
