Thanks Nancy.

Do you mean that in my code I should not put the value for "cid". That means $lastid (in red) should be removed.

 

 

$lastid = 0;
  for($delta = 0; $delta < $all_companies; $delta++)
  {
 $lastid = db_last_insert_id(rs_companies, cid) + 1;
      db_query(
    'INSERT INTO {rs_companies} ( cid, uid, prevcompany, joindate, releasedate) '
      ."VALUES (%d, '%d', '%s', '%d', '%d')",
 $lastid, 

$user->uid

 

Regards

Austin

You don't need to provide the value for an auto increment field. "Db_last_insert_id()" is how you get the value after the insert, if you need it at all.

I have a table, where 'cid' field is of type "serial".

 

$lastid = 0;
  for($delta = 0; $delta < $all_companies; $delta++)
  {
 $lastid = db_last_insert_id(rs_companies, cid) + 1;
      db_query(
    'INSERT INTO {rs_companies} ( cid, uid, prevcompany, joindate, releasedate) '
      ."VALUES (%d, '%d', '%s', '%d', '%d')",
 $lastid,
