If you use this function after doing an INSERT ... SELECT to insert multiple rows at once, you get the autonumber ID of the *first* row added by the INSERT. e.g. if there are 4 records in table 'init' that have column 'type' = 2 I want to add these 4 records to table 'game' Table game has an autonumber column 'game_id' that is currently at 32. If I do this query: INSERT INTO game (type, players, rounds) SELECT type, players, rounds FROM init WHERE type = 2 Then mysql_insert_id() will return 33, not 36. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43529 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43529&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43529&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
