I know this is pretty basic, but I am not finding out how to do this in the mathical functions area of the manual. I am pulling a list of items out of a DB using a while statement. Now I want to dynamically generate numbers for the list based on how many items are pulled up, not based on an ID in the DB. So for the first item I would always liek to start with 1 and for the next item that appears in the array to add one and so forth to get a numbered list. How would I do this?

Before your while loop: $index_number = 1; Inside your while loop: print "....$index_number"; ++$index_number; Or use a for loop for ($i=1; $row = mysql_fetch_array ($result); ++$i) {

        print "....$i";
