I want to insert a new table entry 1 number higher than the highest in
the field (id). I cannot use auto-increment.
And I want to show the value of the field to be added in an input field
on the web page:
if (isset($_REQUEST["AddNewBooksRequest"])) {
$SQL = "SELECT MAX(id) FROM book";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
$bookCount = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i=0; $i < $bookCount; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$idIN = $row["id"]+1;
}
$idIN = $_POST["idIN"];
$titleIN = $_POST["titleIN"];
...snip...
<td colspan="2">
<?
echo "<input type='text' name='titleIN' value='$idIN' disabled size='2'>";
?>
</td>
What am I doing wrong? (The query works and returns the right nr. but
what do I have to do to add 1 to that number and then display it in the
on page and post it to the table?
