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_create_db - Create a MySQL database

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  function  was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten-
	      sion. 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_query(3)

		     o PDO::query

       bool mysql_create_db (string  $database_name, [resource	$link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

       mysql_create_db(3) attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.

	      o $database_name
		- The name of the database being created.

	      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 TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       Example #1

	      mysql_create_db(3) alternative example

	       The  function  mysql_create_db(3)  is  deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query(3) to issue an sql CREATE DATABASE statement
	      instead.

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

	      $sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
	      if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
		  echo "Database my_db created successfully
";
	      } else {
		  echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "
";
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Database my_db created successfully

       Note

	       For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_createdb(3)

       Note

	       This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.

       mysql_query(3), mysql_select_db(3).
