your can also user it within a query - eg
$sql = ' insert into related table parent_id, data , data2) values (last_insert_id(), 23, 45);

Hi there everyone,
I use the below to insert some data into my database:
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO forummessages (Postedby, email, subject, message, ForumID, posted, parentid) VALUES ('$Postedby', '$email', '$subject', '$message', '$ForumID','$posted','$parentid')
");
But once it has done this, I need to get the id it has generated in the DB and then update that record with the id it generate, so how can I get the id from the above insert?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Chris
