Using an id that was generated via auto incrementation using "null"

| I remember reading about a PHP operator that will allow me to use information from a previous MySQL entry or something.
What I am doing is executing this via PHP:
Then later on in the script I need to use:
Where "XXXX" is the id. "id" is auto incrementing which is why I used "null" in the first query. So, I need to use the id number that was incremented.
What was that PHP operator again??

| It's worth considering using MySQLi instead, it's OO, allows for prepared statements, multiple statements, transactional use etc. VERY handy.
