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???


// 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();
