maxdb_insert_id - Returns the auto generated id used in the last query

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
       mixed maxdb_insert_id (resource	$link)

DESCRIPTION
       Object oriented style
       mixed$maxdb->insert_id ()

	The  maxdb_insert_id(3)  function returns the ID generated by a query on a table with a column having the DEFAULT SERIAL attribute. If the
       last query wasn't an INSERT or UPDATE statement or if the modified table does not have a column with the  DEFAULT  SERIAL  attribute,  this
       function will return zero.

RETURN VALUES
	The  value  of the DEFAULT SERIAL field that was updated by the previous query. Returns zero if there was no previous query on the connec-
       tion or if the query did not update an DEFAULT_SERIAL value.

       Note

	       If the number is greater than maximal int value, maxdb_insert_id(3) will return a string.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
	      $maxdb->query("DROP TABLE mycity");
	      maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

	      $maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE mycity LIKE hotel.city");
	      $maxdb->query("ALTER TABLE mycity ADD id FIXED(11) DEFAULT SERIAL");

	      $query = "INSERT INTO mycity (zip,name,state) VALUES ('12203','Albany' ,'NY')";
	      $maxdb->query($query);

	      printf ("New Record has id %d.
", $maxdb->insert_id);

	      /* drop table */
	      $maxdb->query("DROP TABLE mycity");

	      /* close connection */
	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php
	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_OFF);
	      maxdb_query($link,"DROP TABLE mycity");
	      maxdb_report (MAXDB_REPORT_ERROR);

	      maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE mycity LIKE hotel.city");
	      maxdb_query($link, "ALTER TABLE mycity ADD id FIXED(11) DEFAULT SERIAL");

	      $query = "INSERT INTO mycity (zip,name,state) VALUES ('12203','Albany' ,'NY')";
	      maxdb_query($link, $query);

	      printf ("New Record has id %d.
", maxdb_insert_id($link));

	      /* drop table */
	      maxdb_query($link, "DROP TABLE mycity");

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       New Record has id 1.
