[RESOLVED] PHP/MySQL Query

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

Could you please explain what the below do?

Thanks.

$student_id = mysql_result($find_student, 0);

$student_id = mysql_insert_id();

[rincewind456]

 $student_id = mysql_result($find_student, 0); 

returns the 1st line of the query $find_student

 $student_id = mysql_insert_id(); 

makes $student_id the last ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous INSERT query

RTFM
[man]mysql_result[/man]
Retrieves the contents of one cell from a MySQL result set.

[man]mysql_insert_id[/man]
Get the ID generated from the previous INSERT operation

Is your manual broken?
