Something is rotten here. Twist it any way you like and it just does not work. I am trying to figure out the working of SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() and cannot get beyond the first $sql - But it works fine from command-line! <? include ("lib/db1.php"); // Connect to database $sql1 = "INSERT INTO test (name, age) VALUES ('Joe Blow', '69')"; $result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db); if ( !$result) { echo("<P>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</P>"); exit(); } THIS IS WHERE IT STOPS WITH ERROR.$sql1 just refuses to work. db connection is fine and the INSERT works from xterm on remote puter. Can't figure this out. ============ $sql = "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM test"; $result = mysql_query($sql,$db); if (!$result) { echo("<P>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</P>"); exit(); } while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo("<P>" . $row["id"] . "</P>"); } ?> What am I missing here? Or how can I trace the error? -- Phil Jourdan --- pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
