Re: A small question - Mysql_insert_id

Hey Julie, Thanks for replying, Actually the ID field is not null,primary and auto_increment. Thanks for the URL but in my message I did quote the line from that same url (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php) I just need to get the ID of the just inserted record. Any ideas?
