Question

so I tried to use Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql’s insert() method….

and then after that I issued the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); command….

but then for some reason, that command always return 0 rather than the actual inserted ID…

when I tried to use normal INSERT query, and then get the last insert id, it works just fine so I guess it’s some zend framework screw up…

does anybody know how to get around this?

the insert() method only returns 1 if it succeeds rather than the id, so the solution for this: last insert id with zend db table abstract doesn’t seem to work

Zend_Db_Adaptor Documentation explains

Some RDBMS brands support auto-incrementing primary keys. A table defined this way generates a primary key value automatically during an INSERT of a new row. The return value of the insert() method is not the last inserted ID, because the table might not have an auto-incremented column. Instead, the return value is the number of rows affected (usually 1).

If your table is defined with an
auto-incrementing primary key, you can
call the lastInsertId() method after
the insert. This method returns the
last value generated in the scope of
the current database connection.

So …

$id = $db->lastInsertId();

Should work
