Number incrementation

Hi guys,

Im hoping someone can give me a nudge in the right direction.

Basically i have a form that is submitted to a php script for it to do what is needed (send an email in this instance), what i want is for the email to contain a unique number (preferably sequential) but i dont know how to go about storing the last issued number without a DB

Any suggestions.

You could use date();

Thats a good idea… how did i miss that one!

Thanks.
