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. (IMHO)

Subject: [PHP-DB] Pulling random HTML code out of a table
Okay, this is the scenario:
I have a table with two columns. 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?
Really, really thankful for an answer!
