serial type question

[Ray Hunter <rhunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a php script that will be inserting from a form into two tables.

Table1 has a serial data type.
Table2 references Table1's serial data type (PK).

Here are my questions:
1. Can i run a transaction process from php? If yes, how?
2. How can i get the serial value for inserting into the 2nd table?
