<?php
//Untested code:
if (isset($_POST['new_topic'])){
$new_topic = $_POST['new_topic'];
$new_topic = mysql_escape_string($new_topic);
$query = "insert into topics (topic) values ('$new_topic')";
$insert = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
$topic_id = mysql_insert_id();
echo "<a
href=\"topics.php?topic_id=$topic_id\">$_POST[new_topic]</a>";
}
?>
http://php.net/mysql_insert_id
is probably the piece of the puzzle you were missing.
