Sequential Number in PHP/SQL Script - Any Help?

[cloneworks]

I am trying to figure out how to add a seqential number from a form instead of a POST data

so i want to make this:

insert into database ('row1') values ('$_POST[value]')

and turn it into this:

insert into database ('row1') values ('nextvalue')

so if say the first value is 100 the next will be 101

Sounds like maybe this is a case where you could use an auto-increment column in the DB table?

i am a total php noob lol - how would i do that?

and how would i get it to read the previous value and know what to put in?
