I still don't get it, if you look at the code below why does the cookie take a refresh but the variable doesn't then. Could you explain in detail please. <?php session_start(); setcookie("random",1,time()+600000,"/"); echo $_COOKIE['random']; $variable = 1; echo $variable; ?> Thanks

why does the code below not work first time, the value 1 is only echoed after a refresh <?php session_start(); setcookie("random",1,time()+600000,"/"); echo $_COOKIE['random']; ?>

thanks, why can i not put a variable in IN(), the code below does not work so i just put the variable in after doing the implode e.g. $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE primarykey IN(".implode(",",$randoms).")"); $randomslist = implode(",", $randoms); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE primarykey IN($randomslist)"); Thanks, Im nearly there

Right this I can do, thanks for all the help. One last thing I under stand the IN() thing but cannot find any guides on it on google etc. can you provide any links, thanks

also could you check your script I cant get it to randomise a table and print it, im also using the table you showed in your example

okay thanks a lot for the help, just to clarify, what do you consider to be a large table? how many rows? THanks
