[PHP] mysql_insert_id()

[Boget, Chris]

I'm having intermittent problems with this function.
Most of the time, it returns the proper value.  However,
sometimes it doesn't return anything at all even when
the insert query executes without error and I can see the
new data in the database.  I try to get the last insert id
both by supplying the link-resource and not but still get
the same results.
When I echo out the link-resource (what mysql() returns),
all I'm gettins is a numerical one (1).  What gives?
