mysql_insert_id if your using mysql ... most other ones you'll have to select max(id) from table after your insert. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Doug Coning [mailto:lists@coning.com] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 2:04 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: NewB: Return New Record ID... Hi all, How do I do this: I need a PHP page that simply creates a "blank" record so that I have the record's ID (which is automatically generated). That same page then needs to return the record ID back so that I know what the ID is. I will later allow that record's information to be populated based on the ID it first returned. How would I do this? Thank you, thank you!
