NYCPHP Meetup

[Brian Pang]

ok, the C code is good for comparison and isolating where the problem
might be, or at least not with PHP...
good luck

doesn't seem to be anything with PHP.

behavior, from: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysql_insert_id.html

generate an AUTO_INCREMENT value..."
> 
> As Carlos pointed out, this is a gross documentation ambiguity.  The
statement above is false according to the actual behavior, since an
INSERT that fails because of a UNIQUE index doesn't generate an
AUTO_INCREMENT value, yet mysql_insert_id() doesn't return 0.  This
seems like a new quirk, although I could be wrong.
