RE: [PHP] last_insert_id function

LAST_INSERT_ID() is a mySQL function, non PHP... in PHP you can use mysql_insert_id() which will return you what you the last inserted ID.

My Id field happen to be type BIGINT as it said so I tried using LAST_INSERT_ID(); and turn out to be error said "unidentified function". Any clue? ******************************************* mysql_insert_id() converts the return type of the native MySQL C API function mysql_insert_id() to a type of long. If your AUTO_INCREMENT column has a column type of BIGINT, the value returned by mysql_insert_id() will be incorrect. Instead, use the internal MySQL SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID(). ******************************************** Jack jacky@activelifestyle.com "There is nothing more rewarding than reaching the goal you set for yourself"
