This might be fairly easy to do and I think I've seen the code before,
but I haven't seen many good examples of this. Of course Pear::DB
probably uses this code in some of its API, probably in dealing with
auto-increment indexes and prepared statements.

Maybe I'm off base here, but I'm looking for something like this:
(psuedo-code)
Of course the seq table only needs 1 row holding id, which is
updated.
select id from tbl;
// get result resouce and do fetch, store value in $myid
set @myvar = $myid + 1; // can php send to MySQL with a query? (
never seen this )
update myseq set id=@myvar // send this statement through in a
update/query

// for use in PHP code
$newSeqVal = $myid +1

A link to an example would be great.
TIA
