Last ID when using Insert in MySql

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 02.2007

I use an ID autonumber for the key in all my tables. When using “Insert” a new autonumber is created. I would like to obtain that number to use in my own rollback scheme.

Is there a php or mysql call that will return the ID when the insert is made OR does anyone have a method to obtain that ID?

TIA

@JDM71488Jun 02.2007 — after connecting to and selecting a database, you could get the next auto_increment id that mysql will assign like so:
[code=php]$sql = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table_name'");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);

$item_number = $row['Auto_increment'];[/code]
or you could get the last one in the database by doing this:
[code=php]$sql = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM table_name ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);

$item_number = $row['id'];[/code]

@SheldonJun 02.2007 — or...
[code=php]
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO DATABASE") or die ("Database Error: ". mysql_error());
$last_id= mysql_insert_id($query);
echo($last_id);
[/code]

@lthJun 02.2007 — When insert a record into a table.you can get the autoincrement id by this function---mysql_insert_id();

e.g.
[CODE]mysql_query("INSERT INTO table1('name') values ('lth')");
$lastId = mysql_insert_id();
echo $lastId;[/CODE]
