How To Get the ID Column Auto-Incremented
How To Get the ID Column Auto-Incremented? - MySQL FAQs - Managing Tables and Running Queries with PHP Scripts
✍: FYIcenter.com
Many tables require an ID column to assign a unique ID number for each row in the table. For example, if you have a table to hold forum member profiles, you need an ID number to identify each member. To allow MySQL server to automatically assign a new ID number for each new record, you can define the ID column with AUTO_INCREMENT and PRIMARY KEY attributes as shown in the following sample script:
<?php include "mysql_connection.php"; $sql = "CREATE TABLE fyi_users (" . " id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT" . ", name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL" . ", email VARCHAR(80)" . ", time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()" . ", PRIMARY KEY (id)" . ")"; if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) { print("Table fyi_users created.\n"); } else { print("Table creation failed.\n"); } mysql_close($con); ?>
If you run this script, a new table will be created with ID column defined as auto-increment. The sample script below inserts two records with ID values assigned by MySQL server:
If you run this script, you will get something like this:
1 rows inserted. 1 rows inserted. 1, John King, 2006-07-01 23:02:39 2, Nancy Greenberg, 2006-07-01 23:02:39
