CakePHP has two methods for getting the last inserted id: Model::getLastInsertID()
and Model::getInsertID()
.
Actually these methods are identical so it really doesn’t matter which method you use.
echo $this->ModelName->getInsertID();
echo $this->ModelName->getLastInsertID();
This methods can be found in cake/libs/model/model.php
