Question

$sql =  
    'INSERT INTO customer 
(first_name, 
last_name, 
email, 
password, 
date_created, 
dob, 
gender, 
customer_type) 
VALUES(:first_name, 
:last_name, 
:email,  
:password,  
:date_created,  
:dob,  
:gender,  
:customer_type)' . ' SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()' ; 

Can anyone tell me if the syntax is right? I am having problems using mysql_insert_id that is why i am using SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()

the error message:
mysql_insert_id() [function.mysql-insert-id]: Access denied for user ‘ODBC’@’localhost’

Answer 1

It will work if you add the closing ; between the two queries (at least MySQL will accept it, I don’t know if PHP will complain). But, as above, it’s not very good code and, if you separate it, will be a race condition. Figure out your kinks with mysql_insert_id() and use that like it’s designed for.
