What is the equivalent to getLastInsertId() in Cakephp?

Question

If I do getLastInsertId() immediately after a save(), it works, but otherwise it does not. This is demonstrated in my controller:

f

You can get last inseted id with many ways.Like Model name is User so best way to fetch the last inserted id is

$this->User->id; // For User Model

You can also use Model function but below code will return last inserted id of model with given model name for this example it will return User model data

$this->User->getLastInsertId();
$this->User->getInsertID();
