Inserting multiple tables with transaction in mysql

I want to insert two tables

A(id,firstName, lastName) and B(id, id from A, xyz).

How can I insert the two tables simultaneously using transaction?

And also if B is not inserted then rollback the A also. Could you please help me.

Use mysql_insert_id() if you're going down that path.

<?
mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");

$q1 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table A (id, firstName, lastName) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");

// This is your baby. The id of the last record inserted
$last_inserted_id = mysql_insert_id();

$q2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table b (id, id from A, xyz) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");

// If query1 and query2 succeeded, commit changes to your database
// Creates both records
if ($q1 && $q2) {
    mysql_query("COMMIT");
}
else {        
    // Else initiate a rollback, and no records are committed.
    mysql_query("ROLLBACK");
}

?>
