Odd order number

Hi,

I am using MiniVend 3.12 on RedHat Linux 6.0 with Apache (errrr... some 
fairly recent version...) and
MySQL 3.22.x (again, quite recent version).

I am a total newbie, but I did get some things to work.  I am using the 
"simple" demo pages and have only changed the products database and the 
checkout.html page.

I am attempting to store order information in the check out profile.  
While it stores correctly, I have seen two oddities that I don't 
understand.

1) the variable mv_order_number is blank.  If I place the line:
    &set=mv_order_num [value mv_order_num]
in the code, then I get a valid number (000016 for instance).

If I do this, then my SQL code runs fine and inserts the appropriate 
rows into my order database.

Great.  Except for problem two:

2) The order number that prints on the receipt report is not the same 
as the number that is inserted into the database.  It is exactly one 
more.  For instance, if the order is placed in the database with order 
number 000016, then the receipt says 000017.

???!??

Is the order number incremented after the &final=yes?  I am doing the 
insertion into the order database _before_ the &final line.  I want to 
have the following steps occur:

- check basic fields
- insert order attempt into order database
- check credit card info
- update previously inserted order with credit card authorization info
- show receipt.

Any ideas?  The odd blank value is disturbing.  The fact that the 
receipt has a different order number than the value used in the check 
out profile in checkout.html is weird too.

Best,
Kyle
