random number

[Porkie]

i want my form to create a random number and email it to the client when the form is submitted. this number would allow my client to  refer to it later. That number would have to be added to my database.How could i do this?

Why not use an md5 or an sha1 hash. Or use an id field that is auto_incremented in the DB and use that auto_incremented ID value to refer to it.

     Unique Band Identification Number - 
  <?php
  rand (22000,99000)

i now need to make this a figure that i can add to my database. How can i do this?

You run an INSERT SQL query.
