Question

Im trying to get the mysql_insert_id using PDO.
Thus far i’ve not found a good example that works with both inserting and updating.
Does anyone have a piece of complete code as example?

Answer 1

If you need $pdo->lastInsertId() to return the id of the row just updated (I would seriously reconsider my design if I needed it but hey… can be a true need), do the update like this:

 UPDATE tablename  SET some_column='somevalue',id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id);
