Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if that would work on older versions
of MySQL since the mysql_insert_id function in MySQL wasn't added until v4.1.2.
Wasn't sure if PHP used mysql_insert_id or last_insert_id with its function. If
it does create a problem, I think you can run a query with a statement like
this...

"SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()"
