I am a relatively inexperienced programmer(hobbiest).
I need to do check for the existence of a student in a table. If he is
there, get is id#, if not, insert him and get his id#. Id# is a primary
key auto_increment field.
So, say this is my sql select...
SELECT id from students where name='$name';
and that $name has a correct value in it.
What would be the best way to do the select/insert-select for this?
