$i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo "$i. ".$row['var1'];
  $i++;
}

<?php
$count= array($_POST[item1],$_POST[item2],$_POST[item3],$_POST[item4]);

echo count($count);
?>

function index($reset = FALSE){
  static $_ = 1;
  if($reset){
    $_ = 2;
    return 1;
  } else {
    return $_++;
  }
}

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
   echo index().$row[0];
