I would like to get the first 5 random entries out of my "mysql" database,
what would be the correct SELECT option?
I adjusted this line
$result = mysql_db_query ("$DBName","select * from Contacts LIMIT 0,5 ");
which works correctly. :)
$result = mysql_db_query ("$DBName","select * from Contacts order by rand()
LIMIT 5 ");
Doesn't work at all. :(
Can anyone through any light on this subject.
Thanks.
