PHP mySQL - Insert new record into table with auto-increment on primary key

Question

Wondering if there is a shorthand version to insert a new record into a table that has the primary key enabled? (ie not having to include the key column in the query) Lets say the key column is called ID, and the other columns are Fname, Lname, and Website

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ('Fname', 'Lname', 'Website')";

Answer 1

Use the DEFAULT keyword:

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable VALUES (DEFAULT,'Fname', 'Lname', 'Website')";

Also, you can specify the columns, (which is better practice):

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable
          (fname, lname, website)
          VALUES
          ('fname', 'lname', 'website')";

Answer 2

我更喜欢这种语法：

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable SET fname='Fname',lname='Lname',website='Website'";

Answer 3

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable VALUES (NULL,'Fname', 'Lname', 'Website')";

只要将AI主键的值保留为NULL就会分配一个自动递增的值。

Answer 4

This is phpMyAdmin method.

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable
         (mtb_i_idautoinc, mtb_s_string1, mtb_s_string2) 
         VALUES
         (NULL, 'Jagodina', '35000')";

Answer 5

You can also use blank single quotes for the auto_increment column. something like this. It worked for me.

$query = "INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ('','Fname', 'Lname', 'Website')";
