I am trying to get the id of the current inserted record. The field name is
'id' and it is a primary key. I am obviously missing the correct syntax.
I cannot use RETURNING id.
$sql = "INSERT INTO jobs (job_title, num_positions, pay_min, pay_max,
startdate,
enddate, job_desc, job_benefits, min_qualifications, employer_contact,
employer_phone,
employer_email, stu_duties_id, stu_duties, grade_level,
employer_school, send_to, reimbursement_amt, postdate)
VALUES
('$job_title', '$num_positions', '$PAY_MIN', '$PAY_MAX',
'$startdate',
'$enddate', '$job_desc', '$job_benefits', '$min_qualifications',
'$employer_contact',
'$employer_phone', '$employer_email', '$stu_duties_id',
'$DUTIES_DESC[$stu_duties_id]', '$grade_level',
'$employer_school', '$send_to', '$reimbursement_amt', '$postdate');";
$sql .= "SELECT currval('id');";
$result = pg_query($conn, $sql);
$r = pg_fetch_object($result);
$jobs_id = $r->id;
echo "jobs id: " . $jobs_id . "<br />"; //echo is nothing
Any insight would be appreciated.
$sql echoed is this:
INSERT INTO jobs (job_title, num_positions, pay_min, pay_max, startdate,
enddate, job_desc, job_benefits, min_qualifications, employer_contact,
employer_phone, employer_email, stu_duties_id, stu_duties, grade_level,
employer_school, send_to, reimbursement_amt, postdate) VALUES ('Paraeducator',
'1', '9.50', '9.50', '9/16/2011', '6/10/2012', 'fdfd', 'fdfd', 'fdfd', 'firstn
lastn', '3351', 'emai...@mail.com', '2', 'This position mostly tutors,
instructs, or directly assists students. Less than half of the position tasks
are clerical or support duties.', '10', '28', 'all', '70%',
'09-20-2011');SELECT currval(id);
