carefree Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Is there a way to SELECT a table the draw two seperate rows from that table? Heres what im trying to do: $cnx = mysql_connect("localhost", "DATABASE USER", "PASSWORD"); mysql_select_db("DATABASE NAME", $cnx); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT VID FROM video") or die (mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $row_array[] = $row['VID']; } mysql_close($cnx); $random_row = $row_array[rand(0, count($row_array) - 1)]; echo '<a href="http://www.DOMAIN.com/"><img src="http://DOMAIN.com/vid/thumb/', urlencode($random_row),'.jpg" border="0"></a>'; Ok so the "VID" row is the url of the video thumb I also want to draw the name from the same video and place it into the "http://www.DOMAIN.com/" section . The rows name is "title" Ive tried to use: $cnx = mysql_connect("localhost", "DATABASE USER", "PASSWORD"); mysql_select_db("DATABASE NAME", $cnx); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT VID,table FROM video") or die (mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $row_array[] = $row['VID,table']; But no luck :-\ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75301-way-to-select-a-table-the-draw-two-seperate-rows-from-that-table/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
