If your on the same connection, then currval()/nextval() will do the
correct thing. i.e. if this is the same php page, then it should be the same
connection. If not, I would use php's session support to pass the sequence number
onto the next page.
currval()/nextval() are connection safe. As far as I know the php connection system
works correctly
(just don't try to use a DBM file at the same time as a pgsql connection... PHP does
NOT like that!)
