What is the equivalent to getLastInsertId() in Cakephp?
If I do getLastInsertId() immediately after a save(), it works, but otherwise it does not. This is demonstrated in my controller:
function designpage() {
//to create a form Untitled
$this->Form->saveField('name','Untitled Form');
echo $this->Form->getLastInsertId(); //here it works
}
function insertformname() {
echo $this->Form->getLastInsertId(); //this doesnt echo at all
}
Please suggest a way to get the functionality I want.

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 on line 2768
