PHP and using mysql_last_id()
Hi can anyone tell me how to use php's mysql_last_id() or MySQL's INSERT_LAST_ID I have a page registration page, using a username, password and member level text box. I want to send the user (upon successful insert) to a member's detail form where the password table primary key is avaliable it can be kept and entered to subsequent tables as a Foriegn Key. But when I have tried it all I ever get is a value of 1. I have looked at the manuals online and found a couple of books that list these functions, and understand the syntax qnd what it does, but can not find a working example or inducation as to where it goes etc any pointers would be much appreciated stu -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi can anyone tell me how to use php's mysql_last_id() or MySQL's INSERT_LAST_ID - php's function is mysql_insert_id() and not mysql_last_id(), there is no php function called mysql_last_id()...if you saw that in a manual, i'd email the owner of the document. http://php.net/mysql_insert_id hth Jeff _ I have a page registration page, using a username, password and member level text box.

So it has to be mysql_insert_id()+1 Alex -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PHP and using mysql_last_id()
It is better run a query with: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); immediately after making the insert query. that way you'll get the exact ID..

Hello Lorderon, Wednesday, March 17, 2004, 3:39:35 AM, you wrote: L It is better run a query with: L SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); L immediately after making the insert query. that way you'll get the exact L ID.. Why? What difference does that give between using the PHP function that returns the last ID - other than the fact it takes another query on the database? -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
