get row id back on INSERT?

Ok, So I'm creating the usually MySQL backend.... I have a page that I want to create a new record with some name, then I'd like to capture the new records id (which is an auto-increment int field) so I can pass it to the edit.php?id=$theId URL I could run a reach for the newly inserted row by name .. but that's not guaranteed to be unique. Maybe name search .. SORT by creation time ? (but how?) Any way to do this? ~ Mike -- Mike Zornek | Project Leader Apple Student Developers The Insanely Great Site with the Insanely Long URL http://www.applestudentdevelopers.org Personal Site: http://www.mikezornek.com
