-----Original Message----- From: Dan Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 5:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Getting the value of a row you just inserted Is it possible to SELECT the id (indexed PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT) of a row that was just inserted? I'm using PHP, I don't know if that makes a difference? Something like: INSERT INTO foo (bar) VALUES ("bar"); SELECT last_insert(id) FROM foo; Also, are there any problems with using this in an environment where you're forking processes?
