Not understanding excactly why you'd need a random string, I'd suggest doing a simple
password() call on each row's recipient
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN rand_string char(16) NOT NULL;
UPDATE my_table SET rand_string=password(email);
This gives you a 16 char long (I think) random string.

You have to have version 3.23 of mysql and then you can add ORDER BY RAND()
to the end of your query.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to pull a r
Instead of pulling using equals, ie "select * from table where id =
$php_random_variable" you can do this instead "select * from table where id
<= $php_random_variable LIMIT 1"... As long is there is atleast one row in
the table you will get back a result. Hope that helps.
