Re: [PHP] AUTO_INCREMENT with MySQL phpmyadmin
I don't know why your query isn't working, but why aren't you using phpMyAdmin's add field section? Browse the tables definition page, and underneath the column descriptsion, is a line that says Add new fields [textbox: #][popup:At End of Database][button: Go] That brings up a fully functional column add page. Unless your permissions don't allow you to alter tables? Double check that.
