Are you getting an error or just nothing returned? The first thing I'd check is if index is a numeric field and if it is, remove the single quotes from around $randi in the where clause.

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);
// Ready to ship...
$fortune = '<span class="quotecyc">"' . $chosen1[0] .
'"<br/>-Omniversalism.com</span>';
mysql_close();
