My question is a rather simple one. I've read that the recommended method of retrieving the auto\_increment/id value of a row I've inserted in mysqli is the `mysqli_insert_id()` function. However, I'm not too familiar and had a question: (This is all theoretical at this point)

For these purposes (hence the mysqli bit) this is all going to be from a PHP web application. Say multiple users are on the application at once and another row is inserted from a different page between the time that I insert my row and the time that I call `mysqli_insert_id()`?

Would that return an incorrect value, or does MySQL have some sort of feature to prevent such a thing? Or am I simply overestimating the possibility of such a scenario?

Thanks for your time.
