PDO lastInsertId() always return 0

I've come across with a problem. My framework was working just fine with PHP 5.3.0. I upgraded my PHP version to PHP 5.4.x and I started to have few issues with some parts of my framework.

After PHP version upgrade, PDO lastInsterId() always returns 0.

I have auto-increment field called id. It is adding the data to database without any problems.

For some reason I keep getting 0 as last insert id.

Here is my code;

databaseobjects.php

public static function create () {
        global $db;
        $attributes = self::sanitize(static::$fields);

        $sql  = "INSERT INTO ".PREFIX.static::$table_name." (";
        $sql .= join(", ", array_keys($attributes));
        $sql .= ") VALUE (:";
        $sql .= join(", :", array_keys($attributes));
        $sql .= ")";

        return ($db->crudQuery($sql, $attributes)) ? true : false;
    }

public static function lastInsertID () {
        global $db;
        return $db->handler->lastInsertId();
    }

database.php

public function crudQuery($sql, $data) {
        $sth = $this->handler->prepare($sql);
        return $sth->execute($data);
    }

First create() method is called, then crudQuery() method is called. As I mentioned before, I can add the data successfully to MySQL database. Unfortunately when I call lastInsterID() method, it always returns 0.

I will be really glad if you can help me out with this problem before I will get the last ID with SQL Query (:

Solution 1:

Other than a bug in php/PDO or your framework, there are two possibilities. Either lastInsertId() is called on a different MySQL connection than the insert, or you are generating the id in your application/framework and inserting it, rather than letting auto_increment generate it for you. Which column in the table is the primary key/auto_increment? Is that column included in $attributes in your create() function?

You can test PDO to make sure that part is working correctly with this code (in a new file):

// Replace the database connection information, username and password with your own.
$conn = new PDO('mysql:dbname=test;host=127.0.0.1', 'user', 'password');

$conn->exec('CREATE TABLE testIncrement ' .
            '(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50))');
$sth = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO testIncrement (name) VALUES (:name)');
$sth->execute([':name' => 'foo']);
var_dump($conn->lastInsertId());
$conn->exec('DROP TABLE testIncrement');

When I ran this script, the output was

string(1) "1"

Solution 2:

After you commit a transaction PDO::lastInsertID() will return 0, so best to call this method before the transaction is committed.

Solution 3:

The one other problem could be using $pdo->exec($sql) instead of $pdo->query($sql).

exec($sql) will return always 0 when you use $pdo->lastInsertId(). So use query() instead.

Solution 4:

When no exception is thrown, lastInsertId returns 0. However, if lastInsertId is called before calling commit, the right id is returned.
