PHP 8.3.4 Released!

mysql_insert_id

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_insert_idObtiene el ID generado en la última consulta

Advertencia

Esta extensión fue declarada obsoleta en PHP 5.5.0 y eliminada en PHP 7.0.0. En su lugar debería utilzarse las extensiones MySQLi o PDO_MySQL. Véase también la guía MySQL: elegir una API. Las alternativas a esta función son:

Descripción

mysql_insert_id(resource $link_identifier = NULL): int

Recupera el ID generado por la consulta anterior (normalmente INSERT) para una columna AUTO_INCREMENT.

Parámetros

link_identifier

La conexión MySQL. Si no se especifica el identificador de enlace, se asume el último enlace abierto por mysql_connect(). Si no se encuentra este enlace, se intentará crear un nuevo enlace como si mysql_connect() hubiese sido invocada sin argumentos. Si no se encuentra o establece ninguna conexión, se genera un error de nivel E_WARNING.

Valores devueltos

El ID generado por la consulta anterior para una columna AUTO_INCREMENT en caso de éxito, 0 si la consulta anterior no genera un valor AUTO_INCREMENT, o false si no se estableció una conexión MySQL.

Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de mysql_insert_id()

<?php
$enlace
= mysql_connect('localhost', 'usuario_mysql', 'contraseña_mysql');
if (!
$enlace) {
die(
'No se pudo conectar: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('mibd');

mysql_query("INSERT INTO mitabla (producto) values ('kossu')");
printf("El último registro insertado tiene el id %d\n", mysql_insert_id());
?>

Notas

Precaución

mysql_insert_id() convertirá el tipo devuelto de la función nativa mysql_insert_id() de la API de C de MySQL a un tipo long (llamado int en PHP). Si la columna AUTO_INCREMENT tiene un tipo BIGINT (64 bits) la conversión puede resultar en un valor incorrecto. En su lugar, use la función de SQL interna LAST_INSERT_ID() de MySQL en una consulta SQL. Para más información sobre los valores máximos de tipo integer, por favor vea la documentación de integer.

Nota:

Como mysql_insert_id() actúa en la última consulta realizada, asegúrese de llamar a mysql_insert_id() inmediatamente después de la consulta que genera el valor.

Nota:

El valor de la función de SQL LAST_INSERT_ID() de MySQL siempre contiene el valor AUTO_INCREMENT generado más recientientemente, y no se restablece entre consultas.

There's nothing inherently wrong with using auto-increment fields. There's also nothing wrong with the main competetive idea, which is for the database to supply a primitive sequence of non-repeating identifiers, typically integers. This is rather like which side of the road you drive on.

The bigger problem is when people don't understand what they are doing with database access. It's like driving a car without really knowing the rules of the road. Such people wind up making bad decisions without realizing it, and then, eventually, something breaks.

Databases are complex beasts, and worth taking the time to really understand. Learn about the implications and limitations of different approaches to solving problems. Then, you will be prepared to pick a solution based on what has to work.

Forget about using MAX to get the last inserted id. Race conditions like other users inserting between your SELECT MAX(.. and your INSERT may render your id unusable.

The WAY to get the id is by using mysql_insert_id() or the mysql SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID().

Take care, if using mysql_insert_id() you should provide the resource returned by the mysql_connect, not the resultset returned by mysql_query.

I don't get all the fuss around this.

I read:
"The value of mysql_insert_id() is affected only by statements issued within the current client connection. It is not affected by statements issued by other clients."

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/es/mysql-insert-id.html

I can't really see what's inaccurate about that.

"In the case of a multiple-row INSERT statement, mysql_insert_id() returns the first automatically generated AUTO_INCREMENT value; if no such value is generated, it returns the last last explicit value inserted into the AUTO_INCREMENT column."

I must be missing something here but why would you insert multiple rows and then only handle the last one with some favoured behaviour? You could just as well insert them one at a time and then handle each row separately with the latest id.

I can't see what's wrong with that.

However I can see what's wrong with simply using max(my_table.id_column) because of the concurrent access issues this would imply.

Just a quick note. mysql_insert_id() does work with REPLACE.

I thought this would be relevant to all the people using mysqli and looking for the ID after INSERT command :

<?php
function insert_join($catid, $disc_id) {
// insert a new item into the database
$conn = db_connect();
// insert new item
$demande = "insert into categories_disc values ('', '".$catid."', '".$disc_id."')";
$resultat = $conn->query($demande);
if (!
$resultat) {
return
false;
} else {
return
$conn->insert_id; // function will now return the ID instead of true.
}

}
?>

Then, on the other side, let us call this function as follows :

<?php
$cat_id
= insert_join($catid, $disc_id);
if(
$cat_id !== false) {

echo
"<p>Category stuff was added to the database as follows : <br>";
echo
"<hr>ID de la category : ".$cat_id."</p><hr>";

}
?>

Take care of setting an empty value for the AUTO_INCREMENT Field else you never get a value except zero returned from mysq_insert_id() ....

If you insert a data row by using the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause in an INSERT-statement, the mysql_insert_id() function will return not the same results as if you directly use LAST_INSERT_ID() in MySQL.

See the following example:

<?
// insert a datarow, primary key is auto_increment
// value is a unique key
$query = "INSERT INTO test (value) VALUES ('test')";
mysql_query( $query );

echo 'LAST_INSERT_ID: ',
mysql_query( "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()" ),
'<br>mysql_insert_id: ',
mysql_insert_id();

?>

This will print:

LAST_INSERT_ID: 1
mysql_insert_id: 1

In this case the function returns the same as the MySQL-Statement.
But see the insert on an existing key:

<?
$query = "INSERT INTO test (value)
VALUES ('test')
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE value = 'test2'";
mysql_query( $query );

echo 'LAST_INSERT_ID: ',
mysql_query( "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()" ),
'<br>mysql_insert_id: ',
mysql_insert_id();

?>

This will print:

LAST_INSERT_ID: 2
mysql_insert_id: 1

By using the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause, only the old datarow will be modified, if the INSERT statement causes a duplicate entry, but the LAST_INSERT_ID() function returns the next auto_increment value for the primary key, which is by the way not set as the next auto_increment value in the database.

The mysql_insert_id() function returns the primary key of the old (and changed) data row. For me this is the right operation method, because the LAST_INSERT_ID() function returns a value which is not referenced to a data row at all.

How to get ID of the last updated row in MySQL?

75
down vote
I've found an answer to this problem :)

by Pomyk

SET @update_id := 0;
UPDATE some_table SET row = 'value', id = (SELECT @update_id := id)
WHERE some_other_row = 'blah' LIMIT 1;
SELECT @update_id;
EDIT by aefxx

This technique can be further expanded to retrieve the ID of every row affected by an update statement:

SET @uids := null;
UPDATE footable
SET foo = 'bar'
WHERE fooid > 5
AND ( SELECT @uids := CONCAT_WS(',', fooid, @uids) );
SELECT @uids;
This will return a string with all the IDs concatenated by a colon.

If mysql_insert_id() returns 0 or null, check your auto increment field is not being set by your sql query, also if you have multiple db connections like I did, the solution is to create a seperate db connection for this query.

You can't do an INSERT DELAYED and expect to get anything but zero, for it runs in a separate thread, and mysql_insert_id() is tied to the current thread.

MySQLi Procedural
//---------------------------------------------
$last_id = mysqli_insert_id($conn);

//---------------------------------------------
<?php
$servername
= "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die(
"Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email)
VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john@example.com')"
;

if (
mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
$last_id = mysqli_insert_id($conn);
echo
"New record created successfully. Last inserted ID is: " . $last_id;
} else {
echo
"Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}

mysqli_close($conn);
?>

If you use this function after doing an INSERT ... SELECT to insert multiple rows at once, you get the autonumber ID of the *first* row added by the INSERT.

e.g. if there are 4 records in table 'init' that have column 'type' = 2
I want to add these 4 records to table 'game'
Table game has an autonumber column 'game_id' that is currently at 32.

If I do this query:

INSERT INTO game (type, players, rounds)
SELECT type, players, rounds FROM init
WHERE type = 2

Then mysql_insert_id() will return 33, not 36.
