Sorry,
Have updated my script with a little help. Upon output i am recieving this.
Warning: Argument to array_rand() has to be an array in
C:\WORKING\portfolio\vivamotion\site\php\request.php on line 51
this is the code below.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////
<?php
//listing table in database
$alltables = mysql_list_tables("portfolio");
//random array
$randomtable = array_rand($alltables);
$all = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Illustrations");
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all);
$rndm = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Illustrations ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT
4,$totalRows_Recordset1");
if (!$rndm) {
echo("<P>Error performing query: " .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit();
}
$randrow = mysql_fetch_array($rndm);
?>
//output to browser
<?php
print "$randomtable\n";
?>
Hope that helps
