since you're using PHP, you can also get this via the php function
mysql_insert_id(). directly after your insert, i think another insert would
be nearly impossible to get int he middle of these two.

$insert = mysql_query("insert stuff into table");
$last_id = mysql_insert_id($res_link);  (resource link is optional).

Hi,

> I imagine there has to be a better way!

Yes :) Take a look at the LAST_INSERT_ID() function.


Take care,
Aleksandar
