I am trying to fetch the last inserted ID from MySQL database in PHP and I was wondering what would be the best way to do it?

I am currently using this kind of solution, but there has to be a better and safer way. So would someone please help me? Thanks

Some insert statement...

 $query = "SELECT MAX(aid) FROM asset";
 $result = mysql_query($query);
                            while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
                                    {
                                    $pickassssult= $row['MAX(aid)'];


                                    }
