Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to create a "member spotlight".  I have the following fields which I would like to select and display at random from my "Members" table:

 

Emailaddress (to become a link to email this member)

DOB

Interests

Gender

Moto

TravelAspirations

DestinationsVisited

Message

 

Any help would be greatly apreciated!! Thank you :)

for starters look at the rand() function. there are a few ways of doing it with the rand() function, i am not to hot on creating funky sql queries, so someone else may be able to do something with sql queries for you.

 

EDIT:

see, ToonMariner made a fancy (not really) query. lol.
