PHPBB3 - Get row from insert statement

Question

When using $db->sql_query in PHPBB3, how would I get the id of a row created with an insert statement?

Answer 1

Use:

SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()

Reference:

• LAST_INSERT_ID vai phpbbdoctor.com
• MySQL documentation

Answer 2

in phpBB3 you get an even better way, the dbal go a function for this: $db->sql_nextid():

$sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . USERS_TABLE . ' ' . $db->sql_build_array('INSERT', $user_ary);
$db->sql_query($sql);

$user_id = $db->sql_nextid();
