Any insight would be appreciated.
$sql echoed is this:

You are combining two statements into one - this is not correct.
Not sure why you can't use returning - it works for me (where bar is
some text and fooid is serial):
insert into footest (bar) values ('abcde') returning fooid;
But if you really can't, then just execute the two statements sequentially:
insert into.....;
select currval('id');
Cheers,
