Hey all, I've got a project where I'm taking form information from the user and writing records to several tables in a MySQL database. The problem I'm having is I need to write a unique number for the ID column of the records. Auto increment won't work because I could have conflicts due to replication of the database servers. Anyone have any techique they use for creating unique ID field entries in a db table? I was thinking maybe using a random 3 digit number and a unix timestamp? Jeff
Jeff: Look into getmypid() and uniqid() or combine the two. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
