mysqli::$insert_id
mysqli_insert_id
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
mysqli::$insert_id -- mysqli_insert_id — Returns the auto generated id used in the latest query
Description
Object oriented style
Procedural style
The mysqli_insert_id() function returns the ID generated by a query (usually INSERT) on a table with a column having the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. If no INSERT or UPDATE statements were sent via this connection, or if the modified table does not have a column with the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute, this function will return zero.
Note:
Performing an INSERT or UPDATE statement using the LAST_INSERT_ID() function will also modify the value returned by the mysqli_insert_id() function.
Parameters
-
link -
Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()
Return Values
The value of the AUTO_INCREMENT field that was updated by the previous query. Returns zero if there was no previous query on the connection or if the query did not update an AUTO_INCREMENT value.
Note:
If the number is greater than maximal int value, mysqli_insert_id() will return a string.
Examples
Example #1 $mysqli->insert_id example
Object oriented style
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE myCity LIKE City");
$query = "INSERT INTO myCity VALUES (NULL, 'Stuttgart', 'DEU', 'Stuttgart', 617000)";
$mysqli->query($query);
printf ("New Record has id %d.\n", $mysqli->insert_id);
/* drop table */
$mysqli->query("DROP TABLE myCity");
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE myCity LIKE City");
$query = "INSERT INTO myCity VALUES (NULL, 'Stuttgart', 'DEU', 'Stuttgart', 617000)";
mysqli_query($link, $query);
printf ("New Record has id %d.\n", mysqli_insert_id($link));
/* drop table */
mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE myCity");
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
New Record has id 1.
