Re: [PHP-DB] About retrieving auto increment value
LAST_INSERT_ID() is connection-based, not table-based. Therefore instead of: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM foo_table you should do: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() HTH Ignatius _ - Original Message - From: Marc Soler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 7:42 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] About retrieving auto increment value Hi I have the typical problem with retrieving auto increment value in php-mysql environment.
