Is that the last insert statement run on your connection or…
你的连接上的last_insert.
Would PHP’s mysql_insert_id() be a better solution
不,它是一样的.
or should I just query for data that was just inserted and grab id that way?
这样慢一些

The ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a per-connection basis. This means that the value returned by the function to a given client is the first AUTO_INCREMENT value generated for most recent statement affecting an AUTO_INCREMENT column by that client. This value cannot be affected by other clients, even if they generate AUTO_INCREMENT values of their own. This behavior ensures that each client can retrieve its own ID without concern for the activity of other clients, and without the need for locks or transactions.
