Information from executing a query


for Specific table you cannot use $this->db->insert_id() . even the last insert happened long ago it can be fetched like this. may be wrong. but working well for me

     $this->db->select_max('{primary key}');
     $result= $this->db->get('{table}')->row_array();
     echo $result['{primary key}'];

if($this->db->insert('Your_tablename', $your_data)) {
    return $this->db->insert_id();
}
return false 

After your insert query, use this command $this->db->insert_id(); to return the last inserted id.

For example:

$this->db->insert('Your_tablename', $your_data);

$last_id =  $this->db->insert_id();

echo $last_id // assume that the last id from the table is 1, after the insert query this value will be 2.

$this->db->insert_id()  

//please try this


$this->db->insert_id();

Try this As your desired question.
