Recommended Posts

I'm having problems setting up the ID to auto_incrementI can do everything else apart from when i go to add another user to the database i can't make the ID increase by it's self.I would like a few rows if possibleID PRIMARY KEY (auto_increment?)login VARCHAR(999);pazzword VARCHAR(999);mail VARCHAR(999);dosh NUMBER;I'd be very grea tful if someone could type out the code so i could learn. and use it.I am new to databases so I'm sorry if this isn't clear. thanks-Johnny(a bit off topic using php how would i insert the ID? like in PHP it would be $_POST['name'] for their name what about ID auto_increment?)

The easiest way to do it is to use phpMyAdmin, which will show you the SQL code that it uses to do everything. So you can create a new table with a column set to be auto_increment, and you will see the create table statement that it used to create it.You can also check the MySQL documentation:http://mysql.org/doc/refman/5.0/en/example...-increment.html
