My ignorance with databases will probably show here, but I haven't been 
able to solve this myself so I thought I'd post.

I'm working on converting a DB driven site using mysql specific commands 
to the PEAR DB method.

One of the fields I have in my mysql database is a auto_increment 
primary key (will show below).

On my php script I used to use mysql_insert_id to get the id (number) of 
my last insert so I can pass this to the next page (multiple tables).

When I tried to use nextID(), it kept creating "_seq" tables in my DB 
depending on what I specified as the sequence(argument). This causes a 
problem because it returns 1, because there's nothing previously in _seq 
table.  The real _seq or auto_increment is in my table chamber(described 
below).

My question is: is there anyway to make nextID() use the 
id/auto_increment in the table I've setup previously and have id/data in 
rather than having it create _seq and rewrite all of my code??

Hope I'm clear.  If not drop me an e-mail.


Thanks

Chris D.
