How do I automatically increnment a number each time a form is submitted?

[sheetrum]

I would like to have a unique number added to a form (automatically) that a
visitor would fill out. Ideally, that number would increment by 1 each time
the form is submitted by a user.

i.e.:
45
46
47
48
49
50

If this needs to be a script on the server side, would/could that be a cgi
script? My server supports cgi scripts, but I know very little about them.
Where would I learn more about this type of script, or is one available to
use somewhere.

I have found an email validation script that I put into use. The disclaimer
that is included with that script forbids making any changes to it, so I
haven't.

Hi Sheetrum,

You'll have to do it at the server with a program that controls the number sycronously.

Do you have any links or an idea of what to search for? Like a program
name, maybe?

Depends on what server-side script and database is supported by your web host, then you can do a
search based on that.
