automation in php

[minisrija]

I want to generate the deptno automatically.
Im using backend as mysql which allows auto-incrementation only for an integer,
not supports for varchar. So any code to do it?
Thank you.
Code blocks are created by indenting at least 4 spaces
... and can span multiple lines

<?php

$con = mysql_connect('localhost','root', ''); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); }

mysql_select_db("stu", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM student"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['deptno'] . " " .$row['sname']

. " " .$row['age'];

echo "
";

}mysql_close($con); ?>

Why are you including this random piece of SQL on student? The deptno will be created in the depts table?

What exactly are you asking? How to perform an INSERT query?

Why do you need to do this? Why not just have an autoincrement (integer)? If you really have to have this prefix (10pit[0]) you can attach it via SQL or php. Are you actually going to display this code? If not, I fail to see the need to use it.
