mysql_insert_id() is a very usefull function..

what does it do ?

it returns id generated from previous insert query.

Could you give some example ?

mysql_query("insert into product (name) values(aflower)");
if you want to print id of "aflower" you can use mysql_insert_id
echo mysql_insert_id();

!: to use mysql_insert_id your cloumn should be an auto_increment cloumn
