Hi<br />
<br />
I am wrinting a registration system for my students in php. I have a form that gets submited with all the info but I want certain things to get registered in the background based on selections in the form. I cant always trust that student numbers will be unique so I want to retrieve the unique id no created for the person by the mysql db. <br />
<br />
Logic says submit the user to the db and then immediatly query the id to a variable once created. My problem is what if there is a duplicate name or student number already. Should I <br />
just check for that before submitting or is there a better way to do this.<br />
<br />
Tx<br />

Get id of newly created database entry

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
