RE: [PHP-DB] Keeping autoincrement ID 2 digits. Possible?

Not within the construct of auto_increment. You could , however write your own Serial Assigned Key (SAK) routine in PHP to enforce these business rules. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Andy [mailto:news.letters@gmx.de] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 5:21 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Keeping autoincrement ID 2 digits. Possible? Hi there, I am wondering if it would be possible to have a autoincrement field which is only 2 digits long. The idea is, that as soon as 99 is reached the next value will be a free one withing 0-99. E.g. A forum has not more than 99 different forums. So lets say we will keep the ID 2 digits. Forums can be deleted and created by the admin. As soon as one is deleted, there is an empty number. E.g. 5 So we reach 99 and the next number should be not 100 but 5! I did set the type of the field to int(2), but it does not change anything. Still 100. Has anybody a good idea? Thanx Andy PS: if somebody is wondering why 2 digits... I am passing this value like that : viewforum/01.html -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
