In psuedo code: Find the maximum CodeID. Pick a number between 1 & maxCodeID Select * from tableName where codeID =$selectedCodeID ... you know the rest. I would use PHP to pick the random number.

One called CodeID and one called code. In the code column is HTML code. (duh) Now, I want to create a query which chooses a random CodeID and pulls out the code associated with it. I then simply echo the code unto the web page. How do I make the query?
