retrieving new record ID?

I'm making a web-site thats backended by php-2-mysql. A common problem seems
to be when processing form data, I use information early in the form to
create a new record in a main table. I then immediately need the
auto_incremented Key-ID of the new record to put other information in
related tables.

In the past i've gotten that ID by just doing a SELECT with a WHERE that
matches all the values i've just INSERTED, but it seems a cumbersome
method.

Is there a better or 'right-way' to have this ID returned to me?

Thanks,

Ravenslay3r
