Hello,

Below is a boiled-down example of the problem I'm having.  I'm trying to
extract rows randomly from MySql, but I keep getting the same one. It
works if I query MySql directly from the command line, so it seems like
a php problem.

Thanks,
Scott

$sql = "

order by rand()

$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute
query.");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$id = $row['id'];

}

echo "$id";

?>
