You got the suggestion using currval already so here's one alternative.

        SELECT NEXTVAL('"orderid_sequence_name"');

Assume this value is $val then do 

        INSERT INTO orderstemp(orderid,...) VALUES ($val, ...);

I'm not sure if this is generally used, but this works and sometimes this
way is convenient for batch processing.

>SELECT @@identity as orderid

My 0.02$.
