Hi Mike, I can't answer your question but there is a very good workaround. Use the sequence functions of DB to get the ID prior to inserting so that you can use the ID afterwards for inserts in other tables. This is much safer than mysql_insert_id() because there could have been another insert between the first insert and the mysql_insert_id() call. See the documentation for how to work with sequences. It's very, very easy.
