note 64809 added to function.mysqli-insert-id

I have received many statements that the insert_id property has a bug because it "works sometimes". Keep in mind that when using the OOP approach, the actual instantiation of the mysqli class will hold the insert_id. The following code will return nothing. <?php $mysqli = new mysqli('host','user','pass','db'); if ($result = $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO t (field) VALUES ('value');")) { echo 'The ID is: '.$result->insert_id; } ?> This is because the insert_id property doesn't belong to the result, but rather the actual mysqli class. This would work: <?php $mysqli = new mysqli('host','user','pass','db'); if ($result = $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO t (field) VALUES ('value');")) { echo 'The ID is: '.$mysqli->insert_id; } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 12.219.153.176 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-insert-id.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64809 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64809 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64809 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
