i am using mysqli prepared statement to insert record in the table like this
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "INSERT INTO CountryLanguage VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'sssd', $code, $language, $official, $percent);
$code = 'DEU';
$language = 'Bavarian';
$official = "F";
$percent = 11.2;
/* execute prepared statement */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
if(mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt) > 0){
//if insert is successful then get the insrted id.
}
/* close statement and connection */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
and would like to get the last inserted id , as the table has record_num field which is auto increment .
so my question is should i place connection name or the statement name inside the function.
i.e 1)
echo mysqli_insert_id($link);
Source: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.insert-id.php
2)
echo mysqli_stmt_insert_id($stmt);
Source: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.insert-id.php
which one is correct ? which one will give me last insrted id by the $stmt ?
- there are no other inserts are being done using the same stmt one the same page..*
Update:
according to the note from http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.insert-id.php
I am doing only single insert so i guess i can use
mysqli_stmt_insert_id($stmt)
but while doing multiple inserts using prepared statements using
echo mysqli_insert_id($link);
is best practice.
