Generate Random "Order Number"

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Do you guys have any idea how to start an Automatic Order Number System in PHP?

I have an service Website, where you can purchase something, and i want after the redirect to "Success.php" to generate an order number, to be shown to the buyer and saved in Date Base for me.

Any solutions helps.

I´m beginner so don´t mind :)

Don't make a random number. Use a real number.
Even better, don't restrict yourself to a literal number but allow it to be a string. You can do a lot more with a string, such as create an order "number" built from the customer ID and date.

But if you want advice that's actually good then you'll have to describe your system and the nature of these order numbers.
