You can do another query:

$last_id = "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()";

Or try to add ; in your query:

INSERT INTO customer (first_name, last_name, email, password, date_created, dob, gender, customer_type) VALUES(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password, :date_created, :dob, :gender, :customer_type);' . ' SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()';
