Generate Auto Number - Update Mysql table

Asked by tofitadmin in PHP and Databases, MySQL Server, PHP Scripting Language

Tags: Dreamweaver

We are developing a webpage using Dreamweaver, php, and mysql as the backend. One of the requirements is to generate an auto value based on the following syntax:

"sw" date(yymm) auto number (001)

an example would be:
sw0804001 for the first number in april 2008.

I am new at php and dreamweaver so I tried to mimic what worked in access, any better method of accomplishing this would be appreciated.

What I have done is in mysql created 2 different fields; a sw field (default value is "sw") and an auto number field.
I created a data entry php page where the person can enter in the needed information. This form will create a new value in the sql table. Once the new entry is created another php page is loaded. My logic on this page is to run a sql query to find the new auto number value and update the entry with the sw value and the current date. The output that I receive is "Your search warrant number is array0804array.
All of my sql queries check out so I'm not sure why I'm receiving array as a response.
" SELECT MAX(Number) FROM Search_Warrant_DB" returns the wanted value and so does

"SELECT MAX('SW') FROM Search_Warrant_DB"

Here is the php code that I created:
