PDO::lastInsertId -- Returns the ID of the last inserted row or sequence value

Description

string PDO::lastInsertId ( [string name] )

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

Returns the ID of the last inserted row, or the last value from a sequence object, depending on the underlying driver.

Note: This method may not return a meaningful/consistent result across different PDO drivers, because the underlying database may not even support the notion of auto-increment fields or sequences.

Parameters

name: Name of the sequence object from which the ID should be returned.

Return Values

If a sequence name was not specified for the name parameter, PDOStatement::lastInsertId() returns a string representing the row ID of the last row that was inserted into the database.

If a sequence name was specified for the name parameter, PDOStatement::lastInsertId() returns a string representing the last value retrieved from the specified sequence object.

If the PDO driver does not support this capability, PDO::lastInsertID() triggers an IM001 SQLSTATE.
