Re: [PHPwestoz] getting the last inserted id in mysql

Hi all,


Unfortunately I don't know any function in MySQL that lets you retrieve the auto-increment ID of a field you just created. You normally have to do another select, which is not hard if you do this: "SELECT ID FROM Artists ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1" This will give you the last created ID, which normally would be the last record you created.



This function can retreive the last insert id from the database

select last_insert_id() as feild_id

Nice. Thanks (I assume it should be field_id?)
