RE: [PHP] problem with mysql / auto increment fields.. ?

MySql should insert a value into that column when you update if you are using an auto_increment field. this value will always be unique. period. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Chad Day [mailto:cday@atpco.com] Sent: Wed 2/19/2003 1:16 PM To: php general Cc: Subject: [PHP] problem with mysql / auto increment fields.. ? On my website there are a couple places where people can sign up .. The querys after the sign up process look like $blahblah = query(insert firstname lastname) values (blah blah blah) $userid = mysql_insert_id($blahblah); $insertintoothertable = query(userid, blah blah blah) etc. it then uses this userid var to insert them into a variety of other tables for other things on the site, such as a phpBB account, etc. if multiple people are signing up for accounts at different places, is there the possibility that a duplicate userid could be assigned, or anything like that?
