CodeIgniter activerecord, retrieve last insert id?
Shame on me...
I looked at the user guide and the first function is $this->db->insert_id();
This also works with activerecord inserts...
EDIT: I updated the link
Last insert id means you can get inserted auto increment id by using this method in active record,
$this->db->insert_id() // it can be return insert id it is // similar to the mysql_insert_id in core PHPYou can refer this link you can find some more stuff.
for Specific table you cannot use $this->db->insert_id() . even the last insert happened long ago it can be fetched like this. may be wrong. but working well for me
$this->db->select_max('{primary key}'); $result= $this->db->get('{table}')->row_array(); echo $result['{primary key}'];
