since you're using PHP, you can also get this via the php function mysql_insert_id(). directly after your insert, i think another insert would be nearly impossible to get int he middle of these two.
$insert = mysql_query("insert stuff into table"); $last_id = mysql_insert_id($res_link); (resource link is optional). hth Jeff Aleksandar Bradaric To: "Paul Fine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] net> Subject: Re: Best way to get value of autoincriment after inserting NULL? 12/15/2003 01:13 PM Please respond to Aleksandar Bradaric Hi, > I imagine there has to be a better way! Yes :) Take a look at the LAST_INSERT_ID() function.
