If you're using SERIAL for the table_a primary key, you don't need to use
the OID, just use the sequence information.
INSERT INTO Table_A (a_text) VALUES ('hello');
INSERT INTO Table_B (number1, b_text) VALUES
(currval('Table_A_number1_seq'), 'there');
Faster, easier, works in a transaction, and not PHP-specific.
See the system docs on currval(), nextval(), and setval().
