Using PHP- running BASIC mySQL script

I need to run this code in a PHP document to copy a record from one table to another... I also need to find out how to select the LAST RECORD in the table.

INSERT INTO `ruidoso_ActionSki`.`0203`
SELECT ???lastRecord???
FROM `ruidoso_ActionSki`.`Reservations`

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Thanks COLE

proper syntax is

$query="INSERT INTO table_name VALUES ('value1','value2')";
$result=mysql_query($query)or die(error message);


once that is inserted you can use
$last_id=mysql_insert_id($result);

Thanks worked like a charm - I guess that I should just read the docs to figure out how to move to the last record with the SQL

THANKS!!
