RE: [PHP] Getting the last record in a mysql table FINALLY!!
Also, PHP has a built in function for finding the ID of the last insert query. ill show some brief code. $query = (insert into tbl_blah (fld_blargh) values ('$roar')); $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); $last_id = mysql_insert_id(); echo $last_id; this should print out whatever the primary key # of the last insert query performed. This help at all? From: Niklas Lampén [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Php-General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Getting the last record in a mysql table FINALLY!!
