Returning an Auto-Increment Field
Hello All: If I am adding a row to a table that has an auto-increment field, is there a way to query MySQL for the value of that field, once the new row is added?

Re: Returning an Auto-Increment Field
I think that the mysql function LAST_INSERT_ID() is what you need.

Re: Returning an Auto-Increment Field/Thanks
Thanks to all for the responses. Especially to those who pointed my to documentation. Regards -tim- * Cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] [021108 08:32]: You can use the function : mysql_insert_id() to get the value you've just added. Please see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysql_insert_id.html for more information. Notice that you should call mysql_insert_id() immediately after the query that generates the value. - Original Message - From: Tim Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 1:04 AM Subject: Returning an Auto-Increment Field Hello All: If I am adding a row to a table that has an auto-increment field, is there a way to query MySQL for the value of that field, once the new row is added?
