<br />
Can I confirm that in my case last_insert_id() would be better to use. &nbsp;I am not clear on the difference.<br />
<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am inserting record then getting the id using mysql_insert_id() from an auto increment field.<br />
<br />
Will it always pull up the last id, entered by that user, or if another user add something, &nbsp;is there a risk it could pull up the id for their record?<br />
