Add serial number

[sandy1028]

Hi,

 

How to add the serial number to txt file as auto increment when the new data is entered.

Is there any any to auto increment the serial number

<?php 

$name=$_POST['name']; 

$data="$name"; 
$fp= fopen("data.txt","a") or die("can't open file"); 
                fwrite($fp, $data); 
                fclose($fp); } 

?>

Auto increment is a database concept, rather than a text file concept.  You may be able to use the "modified time" fetched by stat() as a substitute.  Or you can manually add a value in the text file and update it yourself each time.
