Here is my code.... I keep on getting a Resource id #2 ......whatever that means....any help would be appreciated!
$music = mysql_query ("Select * from $db_table ORDER BY RAND() Limit 1"); if(!$music) die("Query Failed."); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($music)) print "$music"; }
This is because you're printing $music--which is the resource ID--when you should be working with $row. Also, you're going to need to actually print $row[0] or $row['column'], not just $row. Larry
