Jump to Postexplain more with what you have so far!
Jump to PostDB is safer and more reliable. Autoincrement is easy with that.

hi iv been googleing and got a few ideas one suggested using a flat file and add a digit (id) to start with and auto increment from that number from each form submited and each time a new form is submited write the new auto increment id to the flat file and so on.
Im looking for a simple and fast way to do it.so that I have my form data and also a variable that will submit the id along with my form data.
DB is safer and more reliable. Autoincrement is easy with that.
Yes I know database is a lot safer but the down side to it i have to create the database create function to generate the number write it to database and again fetch it to email with my form data?
If you have a better way or simpler using DB please let me know.thanks
id (autoincrement) | submit_id (user id)
? is that it?
