Is there a way to get the last Record # created by the DB.

Example:

User_ID = auto_increment
f_name = varchar
l_name = varchar
e-mail = varchar
b_date = varchar
pic = varchar


Since user_id is an auto_inc field I submit it as a NULL, also I haven't started the code for a picture yet either so I have it set to NULL at this
moment.
My code is:

$query = "INSERT INTO `t_users` (`user_id`, `f_name`, `l_name`, `e_mail`, `b_date`, `pic`) VALUES ('', '$f_name', '$l_name', '$e_mail', '$b_date',
'')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result)
{
die("Could not query the database: <br/>".mysql_error());
}
echo "Your Player information has been stored OK.<br />";

what code could I add here to make the following line work?

echo "REMEMBER your USER ID# you will need it when creating Characters!! It
is: $user_id"; <----- I want to show the "user_id" just created here.

Thanks in advance!


For auto increment values, you don't have to specify the id. For example:

INSERT INTO t_users (f_name, l_name, e_mail, b_date, pic)
VALUES ('$f_name', '$l_name', '$e_mail', '$b_date', null);

Then to find the latest entry:

SELECT user_id FROM t_users ORDER BY user_id DESC limit 1;

Hope that helps.
