I have a MySQL table which uses a auto_increment
int as the primary key - when I do an insert I want
to create another id based on the primary key and
insert this into the same table i.e. if I do an
insert and the primary key is 3 I want to generate
the ID CR-003, if the primary key was 34 I would
want to generate the id CR-034. So I guess I need
to know the following.
You don't want or need to do this. You're just repeating data. The 34
is already there in one column, why repeat it (especially if the CR
bit never changes).
Just select out when you need in the query or use PHP to make the
combination.
SELECT CONCAT('CR-',id) AS formatted_number FROM table WHERE ...
Or use PHP, where $id is the primary key
$formatted_number = 'CR-' . $id;
You can use a ZEROFILL attribute on your column to ensure the leading
zeros get returned or use sprintf() in PHP to format the number.
Even if the CR changes, then just put that bit in another column and
join them together later.

Re: [PHP] Any Ideas?
The idea was that the user uploads a file and I insert details about the file into the mysql table and rename the file using the generated id. so if the next primary key is 4 I generate the file id CR-004 and rename the uploaded file to CR-004 whilst also storing CR-004 in the table. Thanks for your ideas so far - very useful! How do you get to know about all these useful functions? Cheers Matt - Original Message - From: John W.

Even with this scenario you probably can do with out the extra column as John has suggested. so if the next primary key is 4 I generate the file id CR-004 and rename the uploaded file to CR-004 whilst also storing CR-004 in the table. You are still following a pattern. COuld you perhaps clarify if CR is common for all users or do you choose a different prefix for different users. If you do use different combinations of letters yes you might need a different field and then the solution would be what Robert suggested mysql_insert_id() you will need to use an update an update query where the condition has the insert id returned by this call.

Re: [PHP] Any Ideas?
Bit rough at the moment but I have come up with the following - it doesn't
rename the file using the new ID yet but I am more concerned about my method
for creating the new ID - can anyone see any potential problems such as
database problems, i.e duplicate keys, bad coding practices etc... cheers
matt
if(!empty($_FILES[cr])) {
$uploaddir = cr/; // set this to wherever
//copy the file to some permanent location
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[cr][tmp_name], $uploaddir .
$_FILES[cr][name])) {
echo(file uploaded\n);
echo(generateCrId(insertChangeRequest()));
} else {
echo (error!);
}
}
function insertChangeRequest() {
$sql = mysql_query(INSERT INTO dis_status(status, description)
VALUES('status1', 'status1 description')) or die (mysql_error());
return mysql_insert_id();
}
function generateCrId($key) {
$crId = sprintf(CR-%03d, $key);
return $crId;

Actually I did read the entire question. The poster includes mention of using insert, then update, or possibly locking the table. This logically implies that he does not necessarily care whether the construction of the ID occurs in the original query or not.

Looks fine. Just realize that you don't have to insert $crId into the
database as you can just recreate it when you need to know the file
name. You just retrieve the id and add the CR- to it.
