as far as i know, you can only have one auto_increment field. you'd have insert, then grab the id and update that record, just like you've said. make sure that you grab the last assigned id using a valid method. if it's a sign-up form, do something like the following to make sure you are actually getting the last assigned record for that specific user (you may have a heavy traffic site, so just grabbing the last assigned id isn't wise):
SELECT NAME_OF_ID_FIELD from TABLE WHERE LAST_NAME='$LAST_NAME' AND FIRST_NAME='$FIRST_NAME' AND PASSWORD='$PASSWORD' AND EMAIL='$EMAIL' this would pretty much guarantee that you get the correct user profile. I can't think of any security issues, as you already have these variables filled at that stage -- you're bring them in from the HTML form presumably.
