Random Numbers..

Hey, I've got a script which used to generate a random quote. It worked fine untill this problem occurred.. Say we have 4 quotes with QuoteID's of 1 through to 4 The script would grab a number of rows, and generate a random number between 1 and this value (being 4 in this case) This worked fine untill, one of the quotes was removed and another added, leaving 4 quotes once again, but the last one had an ID of 5. The problem is the Random number generated is between 1 and 4, so the final quote is never shown.. I tried using the RAND() function in the MySQL statement it's self, but it's not random enough... Then I thought of doing this: Select all the Quote ID's from the DB. Store them in an Array. Generate a random number between 1 and the last ID. If the Random Number matches a Quote ID, then display the quote, otherwise Generate another But I couldn't get the code to work. Any suggestions on either how to write the above, or made the MySQL RAND() function, more random?
