mysql_insert_id - Get the ID generated in the last query

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  extension  is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
	      be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_insert_id(3)

		     o PDO::lastInsertId

       int mysql_insert_id ([resource  $link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

	Retrieves the ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous query (usually INSERT).

	      o $
		link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified,  the  last  link  opened  by  mysql_connect(3)	is
		assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
		is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

	The ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous query on success, 0 if the previous query does not generate  an  AUTO_INCRE-
       MENT value, or FALSE if no MySQL connection was established.

       Example #1

	      mysql_insert_id(3) example

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }
	      mysql_select_db('mydb');

	      mysql_query("INSERT INTO mytable (product) values ('kossu')");
	      printf("Last inserted record has id %d
", mysql_insert_id());
	      ?>

       Caution

	      mysql_insert_id(3) will convert the return type of the native MySQL C API function mysql_insert_id() to a type of long (named int in
	      PHP). If your AUTO_INCREMENT column has a column type of BIGINT (64 bits) the conversion may result in an incorrect value.  Instead,
	      use  the	internal  MySQL  SQL  function	LAST_INSERT_ID() in an SQL query. For more information about PHP's maximum integer values,
	      please see the integer documentation.

       Note

	       Because mysql_insert_id(3) acts on the last performed query, be sure to call mysql_insert_id(3) immediately after  the  query  that
	      generates the value.

       Note

	       The  value  of the MySQL SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID() always contains the most recently generated AUTO_INCREMENT value, and is not
	      reset between queries.

mysql_affected_rows - Get number of affected rows in previous MySQL operation

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  extension  is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
	      be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_affected_rows(3)

		     o PDOStatement::rowCount

       int mysql_affected_rows ([resource  $link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

	Get the number of affected rows by the last INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE or DELETE query associated with $link_identifier.

	      o $
		link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified,  the  last  link  opened  by  mysql_connect(3)	is
		assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
		is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

	Returns the number of affected rows on success, and -1 if the last query failed.

	If the last query was a DELETE query with no WHERE clause, all of the records will have been deleted from the table but this function will
       return zero with MySQL versions prior to 4.1.2.

	When  using  UPDATE,  MySQL  will  not	update columns where the new value is the same as the old value. This creates the possibility that
       mysql_affected_rows(3) may not actually equal the number of rows matched, only the number of rows  that	were  literally  affected  by  the
       query.

	The REPLACE statement first deletes the record with the same primary key and then inserts the new record. This function returns the number
       of deleted records plus the number of inserted records.

	In the case of "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" queries, the return value will be 1 if an insert was performed, or 2 for an update	of
       an existing row.

       Example #1

	      mysql_affected_rows(3) example

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }
	      mysql_select_db('mydb');

	      /* this should return the correct numbers of deleted records */
	      mysql_query('DELETE FROM mytable WHERE id < 10');
	      printf("Records deleted: %d
", mysql_affected_rows());

	      /* with a where clause that is never true, it should return 0 */
	      mysql_query('DELETE FROM mytable WHERE 0');
	      printf("Records deleted: %d
", mysql_affected_rows());
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Records deleted: 10
	      Records deleted: 0

       Example #2

	      mysql_affected_rows(3) example using transactions

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }
	      mysql_select_db('mydb');

	      /* Update records */
	      mysql_query("UPDATE mytable SET used=1 WHERE id < 10");
	      printf ("Updated records: %d
", mysql_affected_rows());
	      mysql_query("COMMIT");
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Updated Records: 10

       Note

	      Transactions

	       If  you	are  using transactions, you need to call mysql_affected_rows(3) after your INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE query, not after the
	      COMMIT.

       Note

	      SELECT Statements

	       To retrieve the number of rows returned by a SELECT, it is possible to use mysql_num_rows(3).

       Note

	      Cascaded Foreign Keys

	      mysql_affected_rows(3) does not count rows affected implicitly through the use of ON DELETE CASCADE and/or ON UPDATE CASCADE in for-
	      eign key constraints.

       mysql_num_rows(3), mysql_info(3).
