Hi there,
A bit confused with $lastinsertid = $DB->insert_record($table , $record, false);
as the value of $lastinsertid always returns 1 (true?) rather than an actual value of the "lastinsertid" as I would expect.
Is this correct? Do I now need to do a search to get the record id?
Seems a bit heavy on the db.
Cheers
Dave
Whatever you've copy/pasted that from is setting the third function argument ($returnid) to false, so you're not going to get the inserted record ID as a return value
See function docblock in your IDE, or here:
* @param bool $returnid Should the id of the newly created record entry be returned? If this option is not requested then true/false is returned.
Spot on Paul. Many, many thanks.
