<para>
<function>mysql_insert_id</function> returns the ID generated for
an AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous INSERT query using the
given <parameter>link_identifier</parameter>. If
<parameter>link_identifier</parameter> isn't specified, the last
opened link is assumed.
</para>
<para>
<function>mysql_insert_id</function> returns 0 if the previous
query does not generate an AUTO_INCREMENT value. If you need to
save the value for later, be sure to call
<function>mysql_insert_id</function> immediately after the
query that generates the value.
</para>
<note>
<para>
The value of the MySQL SQL function
<literal>LAST_INSERT_ID()</literal> always contains the most
recently generated AUTO_INCREMENT value, and is not reset
between queries.
</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>
<function>mysql_insert_id</function> converts the return type of
the native MySQL C API function
<literal>mysql_insert_id()</literal> to a type of
<literal>long</literal> (named <type>int</type> in PHP).
If your AUTO_INCREMENT column has a column type of BIGINT,
the value returned by <function>mysql_insert_id</function>
will be incorrect. Instead, use the internal MySQL SQL function
<literal>LAST_INSERT_ID()</literal> in an SQL query.
