#22597 [Opn->Bgs]: PHP can't select random rows from MySql

ID: 22597 Updated by: georg@php.net Reported By: grugli at mmedia dot is -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. PHP uses the same api call (mysql_query/mysql_real_query) as in mysql command line client and it doesn't change the query string. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 18:42:13] grugli at mmedia dot is This MySql-query doesn't seem to work. $Query = "select * from $TableName ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; The only thing that the query returns is the first row and nothing else. ORDER BY RAND() works very well from the mysql command line but does not work right through PHP. The same bug was reported in september 2001 (Bug #13287) and was closed by derick@php.net becuse he thought it was a mysql-bug I know this is not a MySql-bug. It must be a bug in PHP becuse the mysql-command line works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22597&edit=1
