session_start();
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `friends` WHERE `friendid`='".$_SESSION['userid']."'") or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo $row['friendid'][rand(1,count($row))];

ok i did this

 

      <?php
  require_once '../settings.php';

$q = mysql_query("SELECT friendname FROM friends WHERE username='Admin' ORDER BY friendname");
$count = mysql_num_rows($q);
$results = array();
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($q)) $results[] = $line;

$split = ceil($count / 2);
// then you can display it in a table
echo "<table>";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $split; $i++) {
    $left = $i; $right = $i + $split;
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>{$results[$left][friendname]}</td>";
    if ($right == $count) { // odd number of results (left column has the extra)
        echo "<td></td>";
    } else {
        echo "<td>{$results[$right][friendname]}</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>"; 
?>
