I have a request form that is managed with PHP. On the form, there has to be a reference number that has to be incremented every time a user submits. How do i do that ????

You could store the number in a database or a flat text file.

Here is some info on text files...

you'll also want to read on fclose, fread, fwrite. Then all you need to increment the number is

$num = ($num + 1);

If you need more let me know. If you want to go with a database, you have even more reading to do...
