Using date and increment as row id

I am a newbie with mysql.

I am in the process of creating a client request database. I would like to include an id like this: 21060001 where 21 is the year, 06 the month and xxxx is an index that gets incremented with every client request, thus creating a "jobnumber". The jobnumber index will reset to 0000 when the month or year changes. So the table would look something like this:

|jobnumber | Client Name | Client Email | Company Name | Address | etc....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21060000 | Joe Blow | joeblow@gmail.com | Joes Buuble Gum, LLC | 1234 56th St. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21060001 | John Jones | johnjones@gmail.com | Jones Construction | 2345 67th St. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21060002 | etc.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21070000 | etc.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22010000 | etc.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would this be something mySQL can do or do I need a PHP script?

Thanks for your help.

Ray
