Newbie question... Hi folks, Adding records & capture the new record ID: In the past, if I added a new record from a form in a phonebook file as an example, I would use a web form to fill out the info, and then add and invisible text item that stored a random number in one of the unused database fields. Then, after I inserted the record - I would do a quick query that would retrieve the record ID by searching for the random number Q: is there a better way to retrieve the record ID from the newly added record? -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists 09] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
