incrementing a number

[nobertos]

hi,

i have a number ($rfq_nbr) like this in my mysql database:
Q4000535

I need to manually create "Q4000536" so I can make the next row in my db.

What's the best way?

Since you can't just do

$new_nbr = $rfq_nbr + 1

Actually, $string++ works:

   $new_nbr = $rfq_nbr; 
   $new_nbr++;
