When using mysql_insert_id() if you've made a call using a wrapped function (ie, my_database_query($query) wrapping mysql_query()) the database resource may not be "set" to allow using the last connection.

Ex.
1)  Call my_database_connect() and store the returned mysql Link as $res.  Note that it's a copy...
2)  call my_database_query($query, $res) and insert something with an auto_increment field.
3)  call mysql_insert_id() and it'll fail.
4)  call mysql_insert_id($res) and it'll work.

It appears that mysql_insert_id() looks for the last used connection, but if that connection resource is "wrapped/copied" then the ZEND_GET_RESOURCE-type method can't find it. 

Storing a REFERENCE to the mysql link in (1) will allow proper usage, but storing a copy does not.

This was exposed using mysql, but it may have deeper meaning to other modules - hence the "Unknown/Other Function" category

This used to work (calling against a copy of the link) in PHP 4.0pl1.

resources are just numbers used to lookup
the actual resource data internaly, so
passing by value or reference should make no differecne ...
