Getting last saved object id

Question

I am using the Model_CRUD class and it's methods to save and find in database. The problem comes when saving new object into DB, is how to get last inserted id ?

User::forge($userInfo)->save(); // Save returns only bool value

Does this requires one query more to get last inserted id ?

Answer 1

You don't have to do an extra query to fetch the last inserted id. Just try the following code:

$user = User::forge($userInfo);
$user->save();

$last_id = $user->id;

You should check the Model_Crud documentation for further info.
