I'd like to think I understood code a little better than this, but I've got a problem with my WHERE... I know it's the WHERE because I get a good result when I leave it out. And the random function is also working... I honestly can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for help with this laughable prob. --------------------------- // How many are there? $result = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM fortunes"); $max = mysql_result($result, 0); // Get randomized!... the moderated way... $randi = mt_rand(1, $max-1); $q = "SELECT text FROM fortunes WHERE index = '$randi'"; $choose = mysql_query($q); $chosen1 = mysql_fetch_array($choose);
ARRAY???
what's wrong with that? http://hu.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php and then you can of course refer to it with indexes, both numeric and associative I don't see anything problematic with that... greets Zoltán Németh
// Ready to ship...
Referring to it via an index... could be the problem
$fortune = '<span class="quotecyc">&quot;' . $chosen1[0] . '&quot;<br/>-Omniversalism.com</span>'; mysql_close();

nothing is wrong with it, just confusing
