Use To Add Auto Increment
I'm using LOAD DATA INFILE to populate a MySQL db table with values from a textfile. The textfile does not have an empty column I can use to add auto increment. Is there a way to add auto increment without editing the textfile or going back into my table and adding an extra filed for the auto increment after the table has been updated?

Auto Increment By More Than 1
I have a table that I want to automatically generate an account number. I previously developed a simple database using appleworks that allows one to enter the amount she needs to add to the ID field with each new record. MySQL does not allow for this so I figure I must add it to the PHP script. PHP 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?

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?

Auto-increment Field
I have query which returns the value of a auto-increment field last entered. That is: $sqlquery = "SELECT MAX(field-id) from table"; $result = mysql_query($sqlquery); The query itself seams to work fine alone, but when I run it in a php script and try to print $result it returns "Resource id #6" . No idea what this is or where it came from.

MySQL Auto Increment
I have a site that is about to go into production and it has a couple of tables that it uses that could get quite large once in full swing, most of them have a column called "id" and it auto increments every time a new row is added. 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?

PHP / MySQL - Auto Increment Id
I just did my first PHP/MySQL database (a simple survey) that works fine. It is ordered by an id field that auto increments. Apparently, one entry repeated (I'm thinking the user hit the submit button twice). So, I deleted a record. My question is, how do I make it so the next entry will use the id# that I deleted, so there won't be a gap in the id numbers?

Resyncing The Auto-increment
I'm using auto-increment to create article IDs when uploading a new article to my site, and I accidentally submitted one form twice, creating a duplicate entry. I deleted the entry in the database, but the auto-increment continued on after that deleted IDs. Is there any way to change this, or do I just have to go on having a hole in the consecutive IDs?

MySQL Auto-increment Value
I just recently had to move my phpBB database over to a new server (which wen't fine, it's up and running) but when it inserts a new row into the users database the auto increment value jumped from 6266 to 8388607 Now I know I should be able to change that via: PHP Code: ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users`  AUTO_INCREMENT =��' but when i do that the value stays the same. I have tried changing in using phpMyAdmin as well with the same results.

Grabbing An Auto Increment Number??
I am entering information in to a database. Everything enters 100% fine, the first column is an auto_increment id number. What I want to do is enter information in to another table, but I need to use that id number that is generated in one of the columns.

Auto Increment + Deleting A User
On my User table, occasionally, I will have to delete a member. ID is set to auto_increment, so, each time information is imported, that number will increase by one... However. There is one issue. 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.

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.

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?

MySQL Auto Increment Start Value
I know that with MS databases, you can specify a seed value for an auto increment field. Does MySQL have a feature like this? I'd rather not give customers order IDs like 00000056 becuase it's too obvious that the software is new.

Multiple Table Insert - Auto Increment Value
I have a table that when you add a new department it will add the name to the table and assign the row and id based on an auto_increment column. From there you need to get the value of the last insert id. SO what I did was use the msql_insert_is() function. and assigned it to a variable. I then used that variable in my next query because this vaule is a forigen key in another table. Here is my code it should be exectued if you where to post this page with the value of $department_id = "" then the section of script in question will execture. Essentially need it to grab this id number and then place it into 2 more insert statements that should execute immediately after the first insert statement. Then only insert id that I would need is the one produced in the first insert statement what an auto increment value is assigned to the same table as the department_name Code:

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. I'm working on a simple, small animation showcase site where people I know (animators) can post their animations/movies. Visitors can then "tag" their movies with descriptive words. 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

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?
