Try this: $stack is an array of hashes:
$stack[0] = array(0=>tablename, 1=>insertid()); For each insert you do, push an anonymous array on $stack which includes the tablename and insertid of the insert. Then as you continue your inserts, if any of them fail, call a function which takes that array $stack, and iterate through it, deleting the rows you just inserted. (see mysql_insert_id() function to get the insert ID) If none of them do fail, then you are in the clear. Either unset $stack or ignore it.
