This is the easiest way to do it:

http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/31/1441200&from=rss

This is using plain old SQL the PostgreSQL way ;-)

Basically you:

1) get the next number from the sequence
2) do the update
3) use that number for related table insterts

For an ADOdb example, this thread:

http://www.phparch.com/discuss/index.php/t/372/0/

Says to use this syntax:

$insert_id = $db->getone("select currval('sequence_name')");
