mysqli_insert_id

(PHP 5 CVS only)

mysqli_insert_id -- Returns the auto generated id used in the last query

Description

mixed mysqli_insert_id ( resource link)

The mysqli_insert_id() function returns the ID generated by a query on a table with a column having the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. If the last query wasn't an INSERT or UPDATE statement or if the modified table does not have a column with the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute, this function will return zero.

Note: Performing an INSERT or UPDATE statement using the LAST_INSERT_ID() function will also modify the value returned by the mysqli_insert_id() function.
