Problem with PHP and MySQL

Hello guys, I have to create an order for a shopping cart, and I must recover the ID for that order, so I can use it for the order processing. My problem is that I don't know how to do this. Mind giving me a hand? I'm really stumped here.

You're doing it wrong.

It's quite possible to go from newbie programmer to reasonably good programmer without passing through a script kiddie stage in the middle.
Keep your hands off PHP until you have a decent understanding of programming, or you'll pick up a million bad habits you'll have to unlearn before you can do anything useful.
