Hey that worked guys.. Thanks..Dan

You need to create a column in the target table similar to:
        custID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
When you run your INSERT query, you pass NULL to that column and the ID will
be created/auto incremented for you.

Is that what you mean?

Subject: [PHP-DB] Customer id


How do I write a script that will automatically create an ID in the database. Here is a sample


-------------------------- orderform.shtml ----------------------------------------
<form action="order.php" method="post">
First Name<input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last Name<input type="text" name="lname">


<input type="submit" name="submit" value="enter">
<input type="reset" name="Clear">

------------------Order.php ----------------------------------------------------------
<?PHP
include('dbconnect.php');


if ($submit == "enter")
{
    $query = "insert into orders
                  (fname,lname) values
                  ('$fname','$lname')" ;
mysql_query($query) or
                  die (mysql_error());
}
?>
Any Ideas? Thanks, Dan
