That'll work, but it's not atomic. At
Thanks Guys
I just needed a pointer. I decided to use the database and created two
tables, one for invoice number and one for order number then defined a
function to read the current number and the increment it.
// GET AUTO NUMBER and creates the next one
// uses the parameter tablename as $table
One quick note, if you DO NOT have access to a database, you could store
that incremented number to a file. And open and retrieve, and increment
every time you need. If you need to take this approach checkout php.net and
search for "fopen".
