link_identifier

[Anon]

look the definition of function as the manual:

int mysql_insert_id ([int link_identifier])

mysql_insert_id() returns the ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous INSERT query using the given link_identifier. If link_identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is assumed.

I want to know how does link_indentifier works. How to set it. Give an example???

thanks

$link_identifier = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
$db = mysql_select_db("your_database");

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO your_table (var) VALUES ('Your Data')");

$num_rows = mysql_insert_id($link_identifier);

Link Identifier is what's returned when you establish your connection to the database.
