PHP: how to get last inserted ID of a table?

I am having a problem with my MySQL insert. I have an Id column that is AUTO_INCREMENT and I run this code into that table:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tickets (Submitted, UNIXtime, Subject, Text, User, Priority, Status, Service) VALUES ('$date', '$UNIXtime', '$subject', '$text', '$userss', '$priority', '$status', '$service')");

It then inserts an Id number in that row. How would I get that ID number so I can echo it out for example $id = (The ID number from that submit);
echo $id;?

Thanks for the help. If you could, can you rewrite the code to make it work and post it so I know what to do?

You’re looking for mysql_insert_id(). This function will return the ID of the last query.

You could call it after running your query:

mysql_query( $insert_query );
echo "Last ID is " . mysql_insert_id();
