Getting the last User ID in Zend Framework
- by Ryan Murphy
Using MySQL query browser, I manually made a table called users and input some date in the fields. I set the primary key to id and set it to auto increment. There are 3 rows, the highest id is 3.
I then made the following class in the method directory to call upon the data in the table etc.
class Application_Model_DbTable_User extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
protected $_name = 'user';
public function getLatestUserId()
{
$id = $this->getAdapter()->lastInsertId();
return $id;
}
}
In the controller I do the following which gets the value generated by the method and lets the view access it:
$usersDbModel = new Application_Model_DbTable_User();
$lastUserId = $usersDbModel->getLatestUserId();
$this->view->lastUserId = $lastUserId;
In the view I then echo it to display it to the user:
echo $this->lastUserId;
However, even though my last id in the users table is 3. It displays 0.
I have also tried:
public function getLatestUserId()
{
$sql = 'SELECT max(id) FROM user';
$query = $this->query($sql);
$result = $query->fetchAll();
return $result;
}
But this just throws out a server error.
What have I done wrong?
Am I missing something?
Is there another way of doing this?
