execute the MySQL query: select last_insert_id(); and retrieve the returned value or $last_thread_id = mysql_insert_id(); This function will not work properly if the auto-incrementing column is BigInt, because PHP does not have a BigInt equivalent. Int or smaller works fine. Brent _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
