Random not working?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I'm trying to get a random record each time this script runs; Only it's giving me everytime the first record back.. No random at all..

// generate and execute query
$query = "SELECT stedenid, naamstad, stadomschrijvk FROM steden ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
echo $row->naamstad;


Version info;

PHP 4.3.1
Mysql 3.23.54 

When i'm trying to excute the SELECT statement in phpmyadmin; i'm only getting the first record back and when i'm taking off the LIMIT 1 it will display all the records in ascending order so also not in random..


Regards,

Frank
