Question

i have been messing around with a search engine and i am trying to get the while statement to run and echo the results in a random order. Here is the code i have now.

if ($numrows > 0) {

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {

    $id = $row['id'];
    $title = $row['title'];
    $description = $row['description'];
    $keywords = $row['keywords'];
    $link = $row['link'];

    echo "<div id='resultbox'><h3><a href='$link'>$title</a></h3><br><p>$description</p></div>";



}

I need the while statement in theory to run and display results completely randomly.

Is there anyway this can be done?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do order by rand() in your query to order the results randomly.
