PhP or other that will serve up a number in order on a web page from a database of numbers on each new reload

Asked by BPCS in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), PHP and Databases, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: php, sequential rotation of numbers in a webpage on reload or new visitor

I'm looking for a solution to a need I have for rotating a six digit number round robin style from an inventory of numbers on each reload of a particular webpage. Here's what I'm trying to do.

I will have about a dozen people who will have access to a password protected page on the net. They will enter the password then be directed to a page with a short form to fill out. Because I have several people getting a number I want an email record of who is requesting numbers. The success page after submitting the form will produce a new number from the inventory of numbers.
Lets say there are 5 numbers in the inventory so far.So if person A gets number one then person B gets number 2, Person A then goes again and gets number 3, then Person C gets number 4, then person B gets number 5, then person F gets number 1... so on and so forth, round and round we go, wheeeeeee.
I need to keep it in order returning back to 1 after all numbers in the list have been taken so it's fair to each number in the inventory.
I do have a small budget for this project. I can be reached at scott@bestpostcardsystem.com
Thanks for any and all help.
