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         


        

Answer 1

each time you perform an insert operation on any model, cake internally fetchesthe last insert Id and Sets to Model->id attribute.

so one can access it directly by $Model->id;, no need to query again for lastInsertId.
