php auction absent bidding code

[pinto172]

Hello,

I am currently working on a project for a client. I have already created the code for an auction site. They really wanted something custom so I built it. problem is I am so what new to php and I am wondering how would I go about writing absent bidding to the code.

Just a rough idea nothing perfect. I just cannot seem to figure it out.

absent bidding being when someone enters a maximum they will go to you need to auto bid for them? (just making sure my understanding is correct)

you can have them enter a max bid, then I imagine you would have to have an arranged increment

when a new bid is entered you query for absent bids on that product that exceed the bid just made and then enter a bid for that person that is larger than the new bid by the agreed increment
