Hi, I need to retrieve the id of the freshly inserted record. I've found a post here about it using asp but cant find any info about php. Has anyone done this using php? Thanks.

What database are you using?

Regards

Owen.

mySQL

You can retrieve the used AUTO_INCREMENT key with the LAST_INSERT_ID() SQL function or the mysql_insert_id() API function. Note: for a multi-row insert, LAST_INSERT_ID()/mysql_insert_id() will actually return the AUTO_INCREMENT key from the first inserted row. This allows multi-row inserts to be reproduced on other servers.
