正如@NaturalBornCamper所说，mysql_insert_id现在已弃用，不应该使用。现在可以选择使用PDO或mysqli。NaturalBornCamper在他的回答中解释了PDO，所以我将展示如何使用MySQLi (MySQL改进)使用mysqli_insert_id来做它。

// First, connect to your database with the usual info...
$db = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $databaseName);
// Let's assume we have a table called 'people' which has a column
// called 'people_id' which is the PK and is auto-incremented...
$db->query("INSERT INTO people (people_name) VALUES ('Mr. X')");
// We've now entered in a new row, which has automatically been 
// given a new people_id. We can get it simply with:
$lastInsertedPeopleId = $db->insert_id;
// OR
$lastInsertedPeopleId = mysqli_insert_id($db);

查看PHP文档以获得更多示例:http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.insert-id.php

另一个可能的答案是:

当您定义表时，它将具有列和数据。列id可以具有AUTO_INCREMENT属性。

通过这个方法，你不用担心id，它会自动生成。

例如(选自w3schools)

CREATE TABLE Persons
(
ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)

希望这对某些人有所帮助。

编辑:这只是定义如何生成自动ID的部分，创建后获取，之前的答案都是正确的。

至于PHP的网站，mysql_insert_id现在已弃用，我们必须使用PDO或MySQLi(参见@Luke对MySQLi的回答)。要使用PDO做到这一点，请按照以下步骤进行:

$db = new PDO('mysql:dbname=database;host=localhost', 'user', 'pass');
$statement = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO people(name, city) VALUES(:name, :city)');
$statement->execute([':name' => 'Bob', ':city' => 'Montreal']);

echo $db->lastInsertId();

试试这个…这对我很管用!

$sql = "INSERT INTO tablename (row_name) VALUES('$row_value')";
    if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
    $last_id = mysqli_insert_id($conn);
    $msg1 = "New record created successfully. Last inserted ID is: " . $last_id;
} else {
    $msg_error = "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
    }

我在上面的链接http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php中找到了答案

答案是:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (columnname) values ('$value')");        
echo $Id=mysql_insert_id();
