Wouldn't this: $id = mysql_insert_id(); $query = "UPDATE tablename SET id=" . ($id + 1); $result = mysql_query($query); Be a little simpler. But like I said, I'm confused over the need for this in the first place, seeing as how an "auto_incremented" primary key is self-descriptive. or are you saving this somewhere else in the DB?
Using it elsewhere in the db as a foreign key.. ;) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
