Get the id of the last updated record

Question

I am able to get the last inserted id using $this->db->insert_id(); in codeigniter, is there any way that I can get the id of the last updated record? I tried

Answer 1

Using a codeigniter , and MY_MODEL an extend version.This was one of the bottlneck this how i got a relfe.

  function update_by($where = array(),$data=array())
  {
        $this->db->where($where);
        $query = $this->db->update($this->_table,$data);
        return $this->db->get($this->_table)->row()->id; //id must be exactly the name of your table primary key
  }

call this Updates plus get the updated id. kinda overkill to run a query twice i guess but so do all the aboves.

how you call ?

 $where = array('ABC_id'=>5,'DEF_ID'=>6);
 $data =  array('status'=>'ACCEPT','seen_status' =>'SEEN');
 $updated_id= $this->friends->update_by($where,$data);
