Create a sequence and use the sequence in your insert statement.

I created this table:

  post_date  | date                           |
       id         | integer                       | not null
Indexes:
    "alert_list_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

I get this error when I run the insert a listed below. The insert does not have an entry for the primary key "id" since I thought it updates automatically:
Warning: pg_query() [function.pg-query]: Query failed: ERROR: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint
 
$sql = "INSERT INTO alert_list (
                      w_number,
                      first_name,
                      last_name,
                      alert,
                      post_date
                  )
                  VALUES (
                      '$txtStudentNumber',
                      '$txtStudentFirstName',
                      '$txtStudentLastName',
                      '$txtStudentAlert',
                      'now()'
                  )";

How do I do an insert on this table and have the primary key "id" update with the record?
 
thanks
