sk121506 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm trying to make an array from a query and then randomly select 10 values from the array, but the error i keep getting is that it's not reading as an array. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. $query = "SELECT Id FROM January WHERE Username='0' AND Day='1'"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row['Id']; echo "<br>"; } for($i=1; $i<=10; $i++){ $random = array_rand($row); echo $random; } ?> MOD EDIT: code tags added so the code makes a little more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
