# mysql_insert_id() and WP

 * I am creating a plugin and for the first time I am creating tables and inserting
   data. I have all that work but now I want to validate the insert was successful.
 * Can I use mysql_insert_id() or is there something equivalent I need? I tried 
   mysql_insert_id() last night without much luck. I would like to avoid just doing
   another select statement if possible. But that is always an option I guess.
 * Cheers

 * Well, I guess if I was using an auto increment field it might work.
 * My bad.
