small coding job needed

[greenleaves]

A client of mine wants to run a legit contest. So I need a very simple coding job:

A form where people just need to put in one field. Then the system needs to give that user a unique number, starting from 001 and going up to 999.

It then needs to keep the association in a database between field 1 input and the output number. I will also need some way to pull this report.

I need it to run on a Linux box and work off of an MySQL database.

Please let me know if any of you are available for the job, and what price you will charge.

Err... aunique number, but you only have 999 ?

What happens when 1200 users log in?

Why just 999? You could easily do way more.

I can help you, please let me know if this offer is still open. Thanks.

well, it would be very, very unlikely because it is only for the client's client base.

But now that you point it out, I'll have it go to 9999... a number I am 100% sure will not be reached. Even 999 would be a big stretch of the imagination.

And what I meant by unique, is that 1 number = 1 entry, without giving the same number to multiple entries.
