This is really a mysql question rather than a php question and would
probably be more appropriate to a mysql list. In any event, if you
seriously think auto_increment is not your solution here you probably
need to rethink your database design. This is exactly what
auto_increment is for. If someone is already in the list then you can
get their ID with a select and then do an update on their row, if
someone doesn't exist then you add them and ID auto_increments in the
process.
