No, you don't want to do that.

:-)



You are introducing a race condition between TWO users who hit the same page at 
the same time.



They each get, say, 42, and they each put back 43, but one of them should have 
been 44.



What you WANT to do is this:

update contacts set confirm_number = confirm_number + 1 order by contact desc 
limit 1
