Använd mysql_insert_id() om du går på den vägen.
<?
mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");
$q1 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table A (id, firstName, lastName) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");
// This is your baby. The id of the last record inserted
$last_inserted_id = mysql_insert_id();
$q2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table b (id, id from A, xyz) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");
// If query1 and query2 succeeded, commit changes to your database
// Creates both records
if ($q1 && $q2) {
mysql_query("COMMIT");
}
else {
// Else initiate a rollback, and no records are committed.
mysql_query("ROLLBACK");
}
?>
