Identifying Auto Increment Values For Each Of The Fields
I have set up a database i mysql, identifying auto increment values for each of the fields (eg AdminID). I was wondering how i can set up a form which will, when i go to add a new member, have the autoincrement value already present in the field and i can continue to input the rest of my data as usual.

Auto Increment Non Numeric Values
I have a string with a line of alpha-numeric values. I want a function to take the previous value u and then increment it by one, in order of the string. So, if the string was "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", 1 goes to 2, 0 goes to a, and z would go to 11. But endlessly so something like dw34fz would go to dw34g1. If anybody has anything that can do this.

Having A Little Trouble With PHP/MySQL Duplicate Auto-increment Values
I wrote some code to store some values in a table to dynamically display ads on the right column of my site. This code allows you to organize their order, remove, update, etc... In order to do this, everytime there is a change made to the layout, I first delete all the records for the current page then I re-insert everything. The problem is, that on rare occassions this fails because the auto-increment value of the primary key eg. 127, is already in the table taken by another record. I should mention that the id field (primary key, auto-increment) is never manually inserted, I always pass a blank value for auto-increment to take care of it. Is this some kind of MySQL bug, or could it have something to do with my DELETE before inserting again?

Identifying Dynamic Form Fields
User goes to page which is a form that asks for some basic info regarding returning products for credit/exchange, and also asks for how many products are going to be returned. Upon submitting, a return authorization form is presented to them with the specified number of product fields. I now want to take the input from this form and email it to myself, as well as, display a confirmation page to the user. The problem I have is a can't say, for instance, echo "$field_name"; because field_name will get created dynamically after the user specifies how many products to return. For example, say the user says 5 products, this will generate a form with field names like: return_code0 inv_num0 qty0 product0 cre_exch0 stockout0 return_code1 inv_num1 qty1 product1 cre_exch1 stockout1 return_code2 inv_num2 qty2 product2 cre_exch2 stockout2 and so on.... These get created with a for() loop. Once this form is submitted, how can I address the field names? Code:

What Will The Next Auto Increment Be?
I have a MYSQL table with a field that auto increments 'ID'. I need to know what the next ID will be. Is there a simple way to do this? One solution I've thought of is to query all the records and sort it by ID, and then just take the last record +1. But that seems awfully inefficient. Does anybody have any other suggestions or know of any functions that will do this?

Getting Last Id Of The Auto-increment Key
I have two tables and I need to get the last id of the primary key in one of the tables. I did some searching and found a solution that works. $sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO (table) (column) VALUES ('test')") or die (mysql_error()); $insert_id=mysql_insert_id(); $num = $insert_id + 1; //need to increase the last id by one to match new entry in other table This works well. The downside is in order for this to work an actual value is filed into a new row of (table) after the last id found in (column) thus giving me a blank row. While this isn't too bad, I could imagine I'll end up with a bunch of empty rows in my table. Is there a way to prevent this from happening -- i.e., a bunch of empty rows?

Getting An Auto-increment Id?
When someone creates a topic, the following is executed: $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`topics` (`topic_name`, `topic_desc`, `poster`, `forumid`) VALUES ('". $posttitle ."', '". $desc ."', '". $sessionu ."', '". $forum ."');"); This inserts the topic into the topic table. However, then this is executed: $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`posts` (`poster`, `post`, `topicid`) VALUES ('". $sessionu ."', '". $fp ."' '". $id ."');"); This is meant to insert a post into the posts table that starts the topic. However, this is a problem. The problem is, that $id hasn't been defined. My question is this, really: How do I get $id? Basically, I've got to find a way of getting an auto_increment value from a database. Anyone any ideas?

Use To Add Auto Increment

Auto-increment Value
I had failed to realize that when using auto-increment on the Primary Key field I didn't need to enter a value in that field as I populated my database manually one row at a time. Subsequently, using phpMyadmin, I deleted rows and added rows and in between I un-set and reset the auto-increment function on the Primary Key field. I also Indexed and then Unindexed that same field. Now I have this value showing in the Indexes grid of phpMyadmin: Keyname: Primary, Type: Primary, Cardinality 23 But, when I add a new row, the value comes up as not 24 (as it should be) but 29. Also, if I leave the value of the Primary Key blank (which is the correct method) but fill in the other values for the row and click Add Row and Return to the table row display page, I get 2 blank rows, with the value of the Primary Key field +5 of where it ought to be. Is there a way to reset the auto-increment value?

Get Last Auto-increment Number
I am inserting related data into 2 tables. The first table I insert into has an auto-incremented field. The second table i insert into has a field which needs to hold the same number as the number in the auto-increment field from the first table. I cannot auto-increment the field in the second table because the number will occur more than once in the second table. How can I retrieve this auto-incremented number from the first table?

When setting this up, what do you recommend using at the column type and size. atm I have gone for a big-int with the size of 20. I wonder over time will 20 be enough... Should I just think of a big number and use it? Anyone else in this situation and what would you do?

Auto Increment + Deleting A User

When I delete a row from the table (so, I deleted a user), that ID becomes unavailable for use. So, there is three members. I delete the third one. When another user registers, I want them to have the ID that was deleted beforehand, which would be three. However, the user will have four.

Reading Auto Increment Number
I have a scrip that adds records to a table. The records are for photos. So, after adding a record the scrip also uploads a picture from users computer and renames it to {$recordID}.jpg. The problem is, my recordID field is auto incrementing in mySQL. So currently I just take the last added record and assume that it the one I just added, and rename the file to the recordID of that record. It works, but clearly isn't the best way to do this as 2 users can add records at the same time and then I would have a problem. So what I am wondering is if there is a way to write a record to mySQL and then have mySQL return recordID of the record just written?

Retrieve MySQL Row's Auto-increment In Query
I've only been working with PHP and MySQL for about the last month and half and have done fairly well but have run into a problem that I hope has an answer.

If I submit a form to insert the mysql row that has an auto-incrementing ID # on it into a table, is there a way to retrieve that ID immediately and use it in that same query to insert the ID # into another table (which I use to cross-reference the table that contains all of my movies's info and the table that contains the information I want to be able to relate to that user)? SO, more plainly I want to: - Retrieve from a form/page the movieID and tag - Insert "tag" into "tags" table of my database, which automatically assigns each tag row an ID - Pull the tagID for the tag row that was just created from the tags table <- Where I need the help - Insert the tagID and movieID into a crossref table
