Hello I am using cakePHP 1.3 and I am unable to retreive the last
inserted row's id. I actually am using $this->Model->id to retreive
the last inserted id but I am unable to get the id. When tried to
check what is return type, it says as bool(false), which means nothing
is returned.

Here I am loading a different model in a different controller, so
would that be the issue?? But even though I am loading, I get back
nothing!!

$this->loadModel('Contact');
$this->Contact->query("insert into
contacts(tblContact_firstName,tblContact_lastName,tblContact_company,tblContact_department,tblContact_address,tblContact_country,tblContact_city,tblContact_state,tblContact_zipcode,tblContact_phone1,tblContact_email1)
values('$sanitizedFormData[fname]','$sanitizedFormData[lname]','','$sanitizedFormData[company]','$sanitizedFormData[address]','$sanitizedFormData[country]','$sanitizedFormData[city]','$sanitizedFormData[state]','$sanitizedFormData[zip]','$sanitizedFormData[phone]','$sanitizedFormData[email]');");

$this->loadModel('Contact');
$contactId = $this->Contact->id;

And when I printed the $this->Contact array recursively, I found the
value of "id" key empty. So that explains why I was receiving an empty
value.

Now given my situation, how would I get the last inserted id, specific
to the controller Contact?? Is it possible?
