Hi
I've been checking the last_insert_id() function out and I am curious. The
MySQL docs say to use the mysql_insert_id() function after an "insert into"
query to grab the key value. Both seem to work; however, there are some
subtle differences.
Which is the best one to use after a single insert statement, or does it
matter?
