Hi, yes, you can. If you're using MySQL try to use mysql_insert_id function - it should solve your problem. For more explanations and examples - see manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php and for all mysql functions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php Greetings Piotr --- James Mansfield <james@eleventen.com> wrote: > OK...newbie question it must be: > I want to add an entry into a db tb (using php > obviously) and when its added > into the db its gets a sequencially numberred > id....now can I retrieve this > id numbe rin the same php coded page as what I > create the entry with?
