How do you get the last insert ID in CakePHP 3.0?

Question

Working with the CakePHP 3.0 beta, seems like a simple problem, but I've searched through the docs and can't find anything. After inserting a new record using $this->Model->save(), I'd like to the get the auto_increment primary key ID of the newly created record.

With Cake 2.x, I could do:

$record_id=$this->ModelName->id;

or

$record_id=$this->ModelName->getLastInsertID();

However neither of those seems to work in CakePHP 3.0.

Thanks

Finally found the answer, if anybody else runs into this do:

$result=$this->ModelName->save($whatever); $record_id=$result->id; 

Answer 2

to cakephp3.X I Found this:

if ($articlesTable->save($article)) {     // The $article entity contains the id now     $id = $article->id; }

Answer 3

You can solve this issue following way.

For CakePHP 3.x

$result = $this->ModelName->save($this->request->data);
$insertedId = $result->id;

For CakePHP 2.x

$this->ModelName->save($this->request->data);
$insertedId = $this->ModelName->getLastInsertId();
