Fetching the AUTO_INCREMENT number

Hi,

One of the scripts I'm writing saves an article into a database based on the information inputted by the user. The ID of the article is set up AUTO_INCREMENT.

However, the next task of the script is to add chapters to this specific article, and for that, I need the article ID. Is there any way of fetching this? I mean, since it's set by AUTO_INCREMENT, I have no idea what it is, right?

Thanks in advance !

So this is after you put it in the db you can use

$db = mysql_connect("", "", "");
msyql_select_db("");

$result = mysql_query("INSERT...");

$nextid = mysql_insert_id($db);
