mysql_insert_id
should do it!

According to documentation somewhere, last insert can sometimes return a different value than the most recent insert if the most recent insert failed.
Why is this a problem? If the most recent insert failed, you wouldn't
expect to get a reasonable ID value.  If you were wanting to get
the value from the previous insert, you should have gotten its ID before
attempting another insert anyway.

What is a better solution?
