Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

Returns the ID of the last inserted row, or the next value from a sequence object.

Note: Due to differences between database server implementations, this method may not always return a meaningful result.

Parameters

name

Name of the sequence object from which the ID should be returned.

Return Values

If a sequence name was not specified for the name parameter, PDOStatement::lastInsertId() returns a string representing the row ID of the last row that was inserted into the database.

If a sequence name was specified for the name parameter, PDOStatement::lastInsertId() returns a string representing the next value retrieved from the specified sequence object.

If the PDO driver does not support this capability, PDO::lastInsertID() triggers an IM001 SQLSTATE.
