As a reply on robert-ramsey@uiowa.edu yes that is true. If you want to be safe you have to give the resource_link_identifier with the call to mysql_insert_id(). You will see that if you don't supply this in many cases you will still see the right behaviour. The case you described is an example which shows how it can go wrong. This scenario probably has a very slim chance of ever occuring in a website with marginal traffic however, since the calls to mysql_query() and mysql_insert_id() in a page will probably excecuted only a few milli seconds after each other. But better play it on the safe side ;).
