Question

$tSQL = "insert into events(title,start,end,allday,url,customerid) VALUES(\"" . $_POST['title'] . "\", FROM_UNIXTIME($epochstart), FROM_UNIXTIME($epochend), \"$allday\", \"$url\", \"$customerid\")";
$mysqli->multi_query($tSQL);
$lasterror = $mysqli->error;



$tSQL = "update events set url = \"details.php?\"" . mysql_insert_id() . " where idevents = \"$eventid\"";
$row = $mysqli->multi_query($tSQL);
$lasterror = $mysqli->error;

echo print_r($tSQL);

My insert statement for sure does insert the record however mysql_insert_id() keeps returning 0. It should not be this way because there is an auto incremented primary key in that events table and that is running fine as well. Any suggestions on how to get the last inserted ID?

Answer 1

Your query is executed via mysqli, so the mysql function would not hold the inserted ID. Instead, use the mysqli version:

$id = $mysqli->insert_id;
