PostgreSQL and select nextval

["Alain Roger" <raf.news@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm getting an error message when i run the following SQL request :
$sql = "INSERT INTO tmp_importedxls (rec_id, publisher) VALUES (SELECT
nextval('tmp_importedxls_rec_id_seq'),'$pb')";

Error in SQL query: ERROR: syntax error at or near "SELECT" LINE 2: VALUES
(SELECT nextval('tmp_importedxls_rec_id_seq'),' ^

I have the feeling that we can not use the select nextval(...) SQL request
in an INSERT INTO one under PHP.
Is it true?

thanks
