Question

How to get the auto incremented field after inserting to the database example. If a complaint is registered and the complaint id should be shown to the user.

$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (cardno, comp, firno, compdate) VALUES ('$CardNo', '$Reason', '$Fir',CURDATE())";
mysql_query($sql);

I tried this but its showing only the 1st inserted record.

Answer 1

mysql_insert_id() returns the autoincrement id from the last query

But forget mysql, move into the 20th century and use mysqli (or even into the 21st century and use PDO)
