PHP/MySQL insert row then get 'id'

Question

The \'id\' field of my table auto increases when I insert a row. I want to insert a row and then get that ID.

I would do it just as I said it, but is there a way I c

Answer 1

Another possible answer will be:

When you define the table, with the columns and data it'll have. The column id can have the property AUTO_INCREMENT.

By this method, you don't have to worry about the id, it'll be made automatically.

For example (taken from w3schools )

CREATE TABLE Persons
(
ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)

Hope this will be helpful for someone.

Edit: This is only the part where you define how to generate an automatic ID, to obtain it after created, the previous answers before are right.
