How to get last inserted row ID from WordPress database?

Question

My WordPress plugin has a table with a AUTO_INCREMENT primary key field called ID. When a new row is inserted into the table, I\'d like to get the ID value

Answer 1

Something like this should do it too :

$last = $wpdb->get_row("SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table_name'");
$lastid = $last->Auto_increment;
