Re: Class ADODB - Method GenID() in MySQL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Wouldn't this:
$id = mysql_insert_id();
$query = "UPDATE tablename SET id=" . ($id + 1);
$result = mysql_query($query);
Be a little simpler.
But like I said, I'm confused over the need for this in the first place,
seeing as how an "auto_incremented" primary key is self-descriptive.  or are
you saving this somewhere else in the DB?

You'll need to insert a value into the table first, then you can do:

$query = "UPDATE tablename SET id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+1)";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$id = mysql_insert_id();

This is in the mysql docs somewhere...
