PHP MySQLi Last ID - Retrieving the Last Inserted ID

Get the Last Inserted ID

If we perform an INSERT on a table with a PRIMARY KEY field (which auto-increments), we can immediately retrieve the ID of the last inserted record. In our example, we will add some more fruit to the mysqli_tabela table and check which sequence number the last entry received.

EXAMPLE

<?php
$server = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "enterPassword";
$database = "mysqli_database";

$connection = mysqli_connect($server, $username, $password, $database);
if (!$connection) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

$table = "CREATE TABLE mysqli_table (
    id_table INT(100) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    fruit VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    vegetable VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
    date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)";

if (mysqli_query($connection, $table)) {
    echo "Table 'mysqli_table' has been created successfully.";
} else {
    echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($connection);
}

mysqli_close($connection);
