i recommend md5(time()) for 'random' strings, i know these aren't random but you get
a longer alphanumeric string, i use it for stopping caches and forcing images etc.. off a server
im using select * from table order by rand() limit 1 for a motd script, and it is always the same
one shown in php, but when i run it at the mysql command line it does change.. though i only have 2
motds atm
