Email Counter
I have an online contact form that I would like to a a counter that automatically numbers the emails that I receive, starting with 1 and then continuing upwards indefinitely. I have looked through countless forums and help pages, as well as consulted my PHP reference books, but I am unable to find anything that helps me. If anyone could suggest how I could accomplish this, that would be magnificent. Thanks!

Re: Email Counter
The most practical way is to keep a running tally in a database field. When your php processes the form data into the email, extract the current number, increment it, add it to the email where you want and also return the incremented number to the database.

Re: Email Counter
Store them in a database and the id field (or other auto increment) will sort this out for you.
