"This is kind of interesting ... $query="SELECT * FROM quiettimequotation WHERE used = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; works; $query="SELECT * FROM bibleverses WHERE 'used' = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; doesn't! Having the ' around used makes that select command fail --- but the UPDATE command requires it!" Use the "`" mark around table names and field names. Use the "'" mark around values. Although sometimes you may get away without them. $query="SELECT * FROM `bibleverses` WHERE `used` = '0' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
