Note Submitter: erik.something@GMAIL DOT COM ---- I have come up with an unorthodox solution for this problem. Im sure its not the fastest but its surely the safest. In sql I have made a column to be "unique" and instead of fetching the last Id generated by auto_increment I make a random number and I store that number in the before created column. Example: id ____ rand_nr ____ name 1 ____ 345432 ____ Richard 2 ____ 598675 ____ Joe 3 ____ 926374 ____ Patrick This way I know exactly what number coresponds to the row inserted.
