Find the last ID inserted into a DB
Posted on 2013-12-02
I have the following query:
At: $workorder_id = mysql_insert_id();
I'm trying to grab the last auto incremented id number inserted into the DB, so I can use it in another query. What am I doing wrong here?
$new_order = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO workorders (date_booked, shippers_full_name) VALUES (:start_date, :shippers_full_name)");
//start a record counter so we can track how many records are updated
if(isset($_POST['new_workorder'])) {
try {
$new_order->execute();
$workorder_id = mysql_insert_id();
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo 'ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
} else {
$workorder_id = $_POST['workorder_id'];
}
At: $workorder_id = mysql_insert_id();

You're mixing your database extensions. You're using PDO to execute the query, but you're trying to use the raw MySQL extension to get the insert ID. Use PDO to get the last insert ID:

http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.lastinsertid.php
This article will show you how to do these things, mapping the familiar but obsolete MySQL extension to the modern MySQLi and PDO. It also includes an example of using MySQLi with prepared statements. Make a search for "Use an Iterator to Escape the Data and Load the Table" and you will find the way to the last INSERT id.
