If I have a table like with a column being the PK for the table and being an
Auto Increment value, what is the best way to return this value to my
script? It is possible that additional rows may have been added during the
small wait.

Ie.

Col 1           Col 2                   Col 3
AA#             SmallText               SmallText

123             Foo                     Bar
124             Good                    Guy


So my script (PHP) for adding records to the database inserts
NULL,"text","text" into the table but I need to echo back the # that was
created!

My thought was to maybe grab the last entry in the database before the
insert, perform the insert and then query where the file # is greater than
that last entry and where the text matches the columns appropriately.

I imagine there has to be a better way!

Thanks for any help!
