Hello, really a mysql question. Pls. help anyway. Is there a simple, common way to implemt the following: Say I have a table with a id autoincrement field. I wish to insert a record but just ist id value, get back the id value, use it to update the record. Do I need three separate mysql queries? Is there some trick I may use?
