Hello fellows…

I activated the active record and i tried to use:

$id = $this->db->insert_id();
//or
 $id = mysql_insert_id();

but those code simply don’t work.
i’ve tried to change

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
//to
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';

but it stills returning 0 (zero) in the insert id function.
what would i do?

Hi tperrelli,

I don’t think you are using the insert_id method correctly.

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/helpers.html

The insert ID number when performing database inserts.

The insert_id method or function is used to get the ID of the last insert.
